Notable cases include St Louis, Topeka, Milwaukee, Richmond, and Hawaii amid wage pressures and higher fuel, heating, and insurance costs.

Drop Does Not Damage Prefab House Demonstration
Bruce Clason, president of a Manton, Michigan home building company, rode inside a floating three bedroom prefab house strapped to a mattress. A helicopter released the house from 20 feet to a freshly mowed field, causing floor damage but not collapse. He then ordered a second drop to 60 feet with no occupant.
