NY Times did an interesting magazine section today on real estate. One of the articles was on pre-fab modernist homes.
quote:
So who's buying the prefabs? "I thought they'd be iPod-using, black-wearing urban hipsters driving Saabs and wearing face-furniture glasses," Sylvester says. Yet many of the prospective buyers he has met at sales seminars have been baby boomers — "a lot are empty nesters who want to downsize." There are various obstacles to producing modernist prefabs on a large scale, from factory capacity to local building codes to hesitant lenders. And the sort of people who might buy them tend not to be inclined to live in a homogeneous tract of identical houses, which may limit the potential for mass development.

So, any Saabers living in one? (I'll leave the iPods and face furniture for other threads!)
