"At the end of LOT-EK's presentation at Ryerson, a gentleman in the audience stood up to object to the very idea that anybody would really want a mobile dwelling unit lifestyle. I felt a twinge of sympathy for the irate speaker's position. It all seems so terribly unsettled -- this life of endless travel, temporary clusterings in "harbours," dispersal again and again. I would not believe it to be a life worth living, had I not met sensible, sober people who have embraced exile (or pilgrimage) as their personal destiny.
These are not "virtual travellers," surfing the Internet in rec-room comfort. They are real, uprooted men and women abroad in a globalized, mobilized world, and as much in need of snug homes as anyone else. The MDU was conceived and created for them."
