What you are referring to is a modular home. ...its a prefab that is hauled in parts and attached. Mine is a standard singlewide but truthfully mobile homes usually never move. Mine just has a crawl space foundation
But is there any major difference between what you mentioned, be it a "modular" vs "standard singlewide" vs "standard home that is physically built on a slab"?
Forgetting trailer homes or mobile homes, why is their any social stigma in owning anything but the standard home that is constructed on site? I'm trying to understand what mocking can be had when an individual owns a home of the sort you own.
I think sometimes people get lost in the idea of owning some "fancy" looking home versus simply owning a home.
For me, it's like the idea of owning a car. How fancy and expensive the car is, is merely a product of not just sophisticated engineering, but also how fancy & sophisticated you want to "LOOK" to other people. See, if you like cars and enjoying driving a fast and fancy looking car, good for you. But lets not get it twisted. When people own and drive cars, they are simply owning a shiny, metallic box with 4 wheels attached to it that functions by way of an internal combustion engine that allows for those 4 wheels to move due to that engine burning a mixture of fuel and air within a closed cylinder that further forces a piston to move up and down and that same piston further rotates a crankshaft, which turns a driveshaft causing the wheels of the car to turn & move. Might seem like this explanation is overkill, but when you realize that 90% of people use these "fancy" cars just to drive to a job they hate and place these cars in a garage filled by other slaves to the workforce, it gives it new meaning. Some people with more affordable cars (say a 2021 Chevrolet Spark that goes for about $14,395) sometimes get mocked for not having a flashy "ride", but for practicality purposes, they are attaining what someone with a fancy car gets, which is the ability to drive from point A to B. Buying that fancy car as a sign of class is just a sign of people keeping up with the joneses. If you still have to slave away at a job of any sort, you're not rich, you're just like everyone else.
Likewise, I am trying to realize what the big deal is in owning the type of home you own. Is there a stigma, because you literally thought outside of the box and bought a home that is easier on your pocket? Or is there something functionally bad about owning your type of home? Will a bad gust of wind blow that shit away?
Forgive me for all these questions which might seem obvious to you and some, but I'm an inner city guy that was raised in New York City. While I own homes in a few different states, they are typical homes that are built on slabs and fall within some community that has the standard HOA type regulations attached to them.
