Abstract: Addressing affordable housing while simultaneously reducing pollution seems like an impossible task. Yet manufactured housing can do just that.

It is also a sector of the economy that has been greatly affected by government interventions in the market. From local zoning and planning decisions to preferential treatment in the federal tax code, housing?s progression is a many-chaptered story.
