Interesting that I haven't seen any discussion of the housing monopolies that were castigated in that study, given how vigorous discussion was on that topic when that study was posted here.

The study largely blames HUD and builders unions for squeezing manufactured home builders out of the market with zoning laws, government programs which favored stick-built housing, and further regulations which make buying and owning a manufactured home undesirable. This discussion of course only applies to the US.
