Factory built homes growing in popularity

Housing costs have increased so much in recent years that the value of a dollar toward a home just isn’t what it used to be. Since 1986, Clark has believed that people would be much better off if they built their homes in factories instead of having them built on site. It may seem like you’d get better quality doing it on site, but that is not the case. It’s very haphazard with unreliable workers and lack of building standards. In a warehouse, it’s much more exact and yet every house is unique. One magazine, Dwell, has its own line of high-end factory built homes. And it’s something that is growing in popularity across Europe. The homes can be built for much less and takes just a fraction of the time. One designer can build a home for $45,000 and put it in place in one day. That doesn’t include the time it takes for the site to receive the house. But once it’s ready, one day gets it done. We’ll start to see this more often in the States, mostly in cold months at first.

This week's poll
Many recent college grads don't know how to dress professionally for work. Have you ever thought someone in your workplace was dressed inappropriately?
Yes. I've seen co-workers in outfits that show way too much skin.
No. I work in a very relaxed environment and anything goes.
Maybe. Some clothing I've seen on the job is questionable.
