You can still do this. You just can't afford frivolous status expenses, like living in cities or college for your kids. https://twitter.com/ithayla/status/983588805503414272 …

I'm in one of my five favorite places on earth which is a doublewide but there is the manufactured housing depreciation trap in there, which doesn't make good sense but is a thing.
-
Eh, it's a trap if you get caught in the housing finance merry-go-round...which is itself a trap. (I agree they're often shoddily built but they don't have to be.)
-
It's little stuff that I see screw people. Manufactured titled to A is sort-of arguably-in-court attached to property held by A and B, none of them have lawyers to figure out partition when the family gets to fighting.
-
That seems more like a class issue, though? Correlation, not causation.
-
Some of it is specific to the weird things that happen at law because they're classed as vehicles and not houses, and people don't get that.
-
You think of your house as a house. Not as a vehicle. Normal. But it causes confusion and consumer issues.

Of course, a new, well-made doublewide has gotten surprisingly expensive. I bought a used one cheapish in 1998 and the insulation was miserably bad, for starters. Still relatively cheap, even now.

enjoy your 4-hour drive to work i guess

In some places it would be four hours. In others, well under one. Yes, certain industries are very centralized. The ideal of living on a nice country place at reasonable cost: much considered in this odd book: http://soilandhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/0302hsted/030211Roberts/YEHtoc.htm …

tldr living in cities owns, live in cities at every opportunity

Some advantages, some disadvantages. I must say, I’ve lived in small cities most of my life and I’m okay with them.

is that like a camper? I always thought it would be cheap to get camper and just go camping across the country
-
They're prefab houses, built in factories. They're called doublewides because half of one fits on a trailer flatbed. Some similarities to campers but they only move once.
