2023 Mackinac Policy Conference Executive Summary by Detroit Regional Chamber

A PUSH FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS

Dear Reader,

We want to congratulate the Detroit Regional Chamber on a very successful Conference! The conversations in panels, on the porch, and even outside the Grand Hotel reinforced for all attendees the unique opportunity for shared progress that the Conference provides.

The Conference theme was especially resonant to us in the manufactured housing industry as we work collaboratively on solutions to Michigan’s future growth and prosperity through housing.

Instead of an “either or” approach that concentrates on one solution to address our immense housing needs, all solutions must be on the table, including quality-crafted, manufactured and modular homes.

Today’s manufactured homes have the same curbside appeal and durability as site-built homes. Further, a brandnew manufactured home starts at less than $75,000, with ample financing and a manufacturer warranty available.

Our cities, suburbs, and even rural areas are facing the same housing crisis as the rest of the country, and it’s driven by two main reasons – a lack of affordable options and not enough ownership opportunities. With manufactured homes, you get both affordability and pride of ownership.

In fact, manufactured homes already provide affordable homeownership opportunities in beautiful, safe, welcoming

manufactured housing communities for thousands of residents all over Michigan.

To spark growth and address the housing crisis, local governments should be incentivized to embrace pro-growth zoning policies to attract more housing options. Unfortunately, discriminatory zoning restrictions and “NIMBYism” too often force people to pay artificially inflated prices.

To drive toward our shared, overlapping goals of addressing affordability and increasing the available housing supply, we also need to increase homeownership equity across race, ethnic and socio-economic groups, and increase homeownership among low- and middle-income households. That’s how we build a state where everyone can afford to live and thrive.

Now more than ever, Michigan needs affordable housing to help people fulfill the dream of homeownership. The Michigan Manufactured Housing Association is deeply committed to turning that dream into reality. Let’s work together to build a better future for all our communities.

MICHIGAN’S CENTER STAGE

The Detroit Regional Chamber’s 2023 Mackinac Policy Conference brought together more than 1,500 statewide leaders to focus on the theme of “Power of &,” which invited dialogue among speakers and attendees on why Michigan needs an “and” approach instead of “either or” policy solutions. National speakers and Michigan’s top political and business leaders embodied this theme through critical conversations on creating healthy, productive tension among leaders with different points of view when it comes to Michigan’s greatest issues and opportunities.

Think about that and wealth building in the city of Detroit – what that adds up to because [for] most people, the generational wealth is in their homes.”

• Proposed Land Value Tax would increase taxes on vacant property but reduce taxes on buildings, rewarding homeowners and penalizing neglectful landowners.

“As supply shifts, we have to think about a lot of load-management techniques, where you’re basically going to have computers that optimize when you charge. To do that, we have to have a broad network of charging... We’re a long, long way from that.”

“Electrification’s here. It’s only going to grow, and [we were] hoping that it was going to be based on what the consumers’ desires were, but at the same time, now, governments are regulating what’s going to take place… We have to adapt or die.”

Key Takeaways

• In addition to charging ports, consumers are concerned with range anxiety and affordability.

• While electrification is here and industry must “adapt or die,” ICE is not going away just yet.

• A unique benefit of the continuing EV transition is bidirectional charging.

Key Takeaways

• Michigan’s technology, innovation, manufacturing, and university corridor all excel, but its lack of incentives and negative perceptions of Detroit work against its growth.

Creative Class Group’s Richard Florida revealed the results of “Michigan’s Great Inflection,” a comprehensive study that benchmarks North American regions succeeding in attracting and retaining high-tech talent and businesses. The study offers a comparative analysis of Michigan’s assets in business and talent attraction and provides recommendations on what the state must do to be more competitive.

Key Takeaways

• Michigan has all the ingredients it needs to succeed in attracting and retaining high-tech talent.

• To be competitive, Michigan will need to take an “and” approach by being the first place that both shifts and deepens its adaptive efforts in the face of new technological challenges.

• A missing link in current efforts to attract and retain young tech talent is investment in curating college towns that reflect the lifestyle that students are seeking.
