2. What the feds *should do* is work with local municipalities

to coordinate where these will go.

Instead of the builders continually building "McMansions" over and over and over that eventually never get sold and often end up bulldozed, this could go back to the era of the "Sears Kit Home", and get them installed on vacant land where homes once stood that were abandoned, left vacant, and then collapsed.





Take the above concept and extrapolate to the "pre-fabs" of today. The big home builders like the rip-off Toll Brothers, don't want this because it cuts into their profits. And their mentality is just like some of the car companies who insist they make "more profit" off of building HUGE SUVs and pickups, rather than offer the smaller sedans, and thus foreign companies like Hyundai-Kia make bucks selling inexpensive sedans.
