I did not know modular housing was legal in Philadelphia. What a super idea! How is that L&I missed the opportunity to screw that up for the people of Philadelphia? I love those modular houses for places where there are no hurricanes like Philadelphia. I have seen them on trailer park like settings in other states and in rural counties and they were full of nice ammenities at a reasonable price usually on rented lots. I bet some streets in Philly would not be wide enough to bring the halves to the lot on the trucks. But it seems like a logical way to house people on all these empty lots all over town. I like this!
was this the same lot that they were trying to split up and sell as middle income townhouses a while ago?
No, that one was up near Hawthorne Street.
