This is 99% invisible. I'm Roman Mars.

The state of Utah has about 3 million people, and a third of them live in one valley,

surrounded on three sides by 7,000 foot mountains into the northwest, by a great salty lake.

The valley is home to the state capital, Salt Lake City, and a bunch of other small cities and

towns that over time have grown together into one big mass. One of the towns amid the

And I don't know, I do it. Charlene's home is immaculate. She has spotless white carpeting from

wall to wall, and all this modern furniture that's been carefully color coordinated. And it's

really spacious inside. She says that when people first walk in, they seem surprised that a mobile

home could be so nice. They'll say, this is a home when I'm going, yeah, it's a manufactured home,

and it is built stronger and better than 90% of these little track rooms that you find. But it's hard
