According to the Productivity School, the number one artificial intelligence (AI) search engine, paid or free, is the one by available from Microsoft’s Bing. According to Dictionary.com, a thesis is defined as follows. Thesis definition: “a proposition stated or put forward for consideration, especially one to be discussed and proved or to be maintained against objections.” Per ThoughtCo: “A thesis (THEE-ses)  is the main …

“While MHI claims to support growth, CEO Lesli Gooch’s recent Maine testimony—which disparaged the resident-owned community (ROC) model—is cited as a specific example of MHI working to protect existing land-lease monopolies rather than expanding the industry through the legal tools available.” So said left-leaning Google’s artificial intelligence powered Gemini in response to evidence supplied to it that included the testimony …

Earlier today on MHProNews the following interview of Mark Weiss, J.D., President and CEO of the Washington, D.C. based Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform was published at this link here. That article promised a follow up that would include third-party artificial intelligence (AI) facts-evidence-analysis checks. Part I of this article will include the full interview with attorney Weiss. Part …

There are reasons for hope that transcends political, legal, financial, scientific, or any other realities. The Christmas story is more than nostalgia. It can be transformative when we allow that to occur. God doesn’t force us, God invite us. God does so through a newborn babe born not in a royal palace, but rather in a humble stable.   “For …

Stating the obvious can bring clarity to an issue. Just because a politician, or any other person of whatever background, makes a bold statement or claim doesn’t automatically make it true. That evidence-based observation applies to members of both major parties, or to minor political party members, as well as to professionals and others of virtually any background or belief. …

Over a decade of reading and studying official documents, governmental, association, publicly traded company earnings call transcripts along with their investor presentations, nonprofit, mainstream and trade media research and reporting can pay off. Combine those insights with the potential power of properly using third-party artificial intelligence to check and cross-check the known evidence can yield investigative insights not found anywhere …

The ROAD to Housing Act’s inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bypassed normal Congressional scrutiny and public debate. The arguably problematic and seemingly corrupt Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) has publicly pushed this bill without any public calls for amendment, as multiple artificial intelligence (AI) systems have confirmed. As left-leaning MS Bing’s AI powered Copilot said: “MHI’s failure to …

The manufactured housing industry’s role, potential, and performance in the battle for more affordable housing are explored in this exclusive report. A human expert on this topic ‘tests’ ChatGPT’s ‘understanding’ of the affordable housing crisis (see Part I). The questions are asked by MHLivingNews and the bulk of the Q&As (chat, discussion, input-inquiries, etc.) are by the AI systems as …

New editorial disclosures. This MHLivingNews facts-evidence-analysis (FEA) article will explore the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) 2025 GAP report. For some years, either MHProNews or in this case MHLivingNews has explored that GAP Report for several reasons. Among them is that it is data rich and cited by an array of sources. As several third-party to this publication artificial …

On our MHProNews sister site (see examples linked here, here, and here) and on the mainstream Patch news site there are several reports on apparent problems with the “Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream” (ROAD) or “ROAD to Housing Act 2025.” While much of mainstream media is hailing the bill as an example of bipartisan efforts to ‘solve’ the affordable …

The MHVille Facts-Evidence-Analysis (FEA) methodology is briefly defined here. Independent of this MHLivingNews platform there are three different artificial intelligence (AI) platforms that have probed topics related to the headline. All three of those responses to detailed questions (input-inquiries, chats, discussions) with left-leaning Google’s AI powered Gemini, xAI’s Grok, and MS Bing’s AI powered Copilot are provided in the text …

During a well documented affordable housing crisis, the manufactured home industry is demonstrably underperforming as measured by historic and U.S. population growth standards. There are several possible explanations. Among them? There are sadly tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of thousands of residents in older mobile home parks or newer manufactured home communities that are living in a property …

This article for MHLivingNews is based upon the interaction with Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) powered Gemini found in the deeper dive report at this link here plus the document found here. That linked document is the record of the ‘chat’ or conversation between this primary writer and co-founder of MHLivingNews and MHProNews and the vast information resources available to a …
