Jim,
I think you misunderstood that remark.
As for newer homes in non-restricted locations ... we bought this
modular (BIG ONE) sitting on 4.5 acres in 2005. It was
built/constructed/placed here in 2002, so it's only 11 years old now.
We prefer modular/one-story construction as there are no steps to
climb and everything is easy to 'service'.
The 4.5 acres out in 'farm country' has NO zoning restrictions on
towers/antennas, so I'm in the midst of a long-range plan for multiple
towers and lots of monobanders and wire antennas!
