KZMU News Earful – “Immobile” Homes

The Moab Sun News recently reported some discontent at Grand Oasis, a local manufactured home community. The community manager was fired by upper management, after he distributed what the Sun called a “profane and rambling” letter to residents. The Sun talked to some residents who say they sometimes worry about their own future in the community. This local incident shows the unique insecurities some manufactured home residents might have related to housing. The podcast 99% Invisible recently profiled another manufactured home community in Utah, delving into these issues and the history of the not-so-mobile home. Today we hear that story.
