It seems, no one want to build smaller affordable homes. They want larger custom homes in the higher priced markets.

I just don’t get it if profit comes out the same??

Is it ego?

In our Northern Illinois location, bordering Wisconsin, this also had an impact on our associate member roster.

Mick,
What would you recommend NAHB do about the losses?
