Understand your ideas. BUT … the NIMBYs in the most valuable coastal areas would have a field day if local zoning laws were changed to accommodate “prefab” living quarters on residential lots.[/quote]

YIKES, AN! That Carlsbad bldg doesn’t look “prefab” to me.

My vision of “prefab” or “modular” homes is this:

For a larger home, my vision was kind of like the “Los Angeles” photo in your link (but replace expensive concrete stemwall, stairs and porch with wood).

I have absolutely NO IDEA how that “prefab eyesore” actually got built in one of the highest-regulated jurisdictions in the state, Los Altos, let alone three units!. UGH!! The one in Nederland, CO is just a step up from ugly. The rest are okay.

Irontown puts a lot of finishes on their homes so most of them don’t look like a “prefab.”
