We received a request from News Nation to appear on a segment about mobile homes. We get those frequently from a number of outlets and we're willing to talk to nearly any journalist in hopes that we can help educate them about affordable housing and the simple truth that the folks who bring old mobile homes and mobile home parks back to life are the heroes of the affordable housing industry, not villains. Of course, the current American media hates capitalists so the stories always end up skewed with the reporter harping on the usual untruth that the mobile home industry is built upon evil capitalists exploiting the poor. And any good argument you make to the contrary always gets edited out.
