One thought on “Prefab housing promised 50 years ago as solution to housing supply crisis”

1. Prefab housing has indeed been touted for decades as a feasible solution to the ongoing housing supply crisis. Its potential benefits include faster construction times, reduced costs, and lower environmental impact. However, while there have been some advancements in prefab technology and design, widespread adoption has often faced obstacles such as zoning regulations, financing challenges, and societal perceptions about the quality and desirability of manufactured homes.

   As we look at today’s housing landscape, it’s clear that a multifaceted approach is needed to address the crisis. Prefab housing can certainly play a role, but it must be integrated with other strategies like increased investment in affordable housing, innovative financing solutions, and policy reforms that facilitate the construction of diverse housing options. With the right support and public awareness, prefab homes could help ease the housing shortage and provide sustainable solutions for many communities.
