When a reporter writes about modular construction being the best way to make housing affordable, you would think they would look into exactly what a modular home is before writing their article.
That seems to be lost on a lot of them. They are not only confused about the differences between manufactured housing (HUD) and modular housing (IRC), they actually lump them together when they write their articles.
Imagine opening your Yahoo! Finance email and finding an article with the headline “Modular construction will make homes affordable” written by a misinformed reporter telling Yahoo! readers that:
“Because modular construction can cost 20-30% less and speed up construction timelines by 50%, the industry has grown over 34% since 2015, according to Census data.”
Take a couple of minutes and read this article written for Yahoo! Finance by Sarah Paynter today. Maybe she will want to write a retraction and do an article about real IRC modular housing which isn’t manufactured housing.
