So do you prefer your taxes being raised to pay for govt approved housing or do you prefer kicking people out of 20+ year old houses and forced to live in cardboard box on the street?
Just legislating that everybody should live in new approved houses and drive new approved cars isnt being realistic in that not everybody has the kind of income for this to happen. You legislate to require this, be prepared to raise taxes to make it financially possible for all people to do this.
Sure rental units should meet standards, but if somebody is living in an old mobile home on their own property, then they should be left alone. If govt has to get their foot in the door, wait until the property is being sold to impose new requirements. Most likely as land prices soar, any old mobile home would be history to make way for some McMansion after a land sale of some poor or elderly persons property. Forcing somebody without high income to come up with a new approved house after they have their place all paid for is just cruel and barbaric, as it will force them to sell out and rent some approved dump or go live out of their car. But then who needs low income people anyway, we can just bus in illegals from slum 3 hours away to do the menial work....
