    The article says some of the zoning was as a means of racial and class segregation.
    Back in the 50-60s-70s that may have been true.

    But when I was looking to buy my first home, I looked into building. One community outlawed pre-fab homes after one person put one on the property he bought. Thing is, it is 2 floors, with the siding and roof on you cannot tell it was a pre-fab. It looked just like all the other homes in the community.

    But it was the stigma of a pre-fab that sent the community into hysterics. It was all about protecting their property values! Not about racial or class segregation.
