Here in the Bay Area, people are looking to be close to downtowns, walkable to public transportation (here that would be caltrain and bart) and to have basic amenities such as fast wifi and a clean space.

But that above-forecast rate is down 11 percent from January, and the National Association of Home Builders is saying apartment construction will decline even more than single-family starts because of the pandemic-induced downturn.Even at an elevated rate of construction, though, there’s likely to be a substantial shortfall, one that could be addressed, at least in part, by factory built modules that are transported to the construction site, where they are put together, one on top of—or next to—the other.

(these projects are close to a lot of public transportation and large employers).

I love cars - I have 4 of them, and I've rebuilt many - but be honest about what they are, which is transportation and (if you like them) a really expensive hobby. 

The only thing that had stopped me from considering it was the lack of public transportation options up there.

The work from home trend has helped some, but still the traffic is getting worse and we have extremely poor public transportation here. 

I live in central IL so anything within 3 hours of me I’m willing to commute, I have reliable transportation, and family in northern and southern IL.

It's a plus if it's close to public transport which makes it easy to go to NYC every now and then.

It may be cost prohibitive as other have said but you can expense transportation and some meals if your trip has a business purpose.

MH & MOD contractors are regulated by the California State Contractors License Board (CSLB whereas in Florida it's the Department of Transportation who handles any/all MH related licensing.
