The 
casa ti prototype by Green Modern Kits has been covered in the news recently, according to a post by Copeland Casati:
NBC12 in Richmond, Virginia on August 4, 2009 includes a video (2:03)
C-ville Abode in Charlottesville mentions the house in their Green Scene section dated August 4-10, 2009
The Virginia Gazette reports:
Ginger Crapse has the answer to affordable housing. “Build modular,” she said....“The perception is that they are glorified trailers,” she continued. “The inspector freaked out. I had to prove it’s modular. He said, ‘It can’t be. It doesn’t look like a modular house.’ People think modulars have to be perfectly rectangular. They see the porch and think that it can’t be modular....”
The ongoing affordable housing debate drives her nuts. “Every time I read this in the paper, I go epileptic,” she said. “They whine, ‘There’s no way to build a house for $110,000.’ There’s no reason we can’t get young families in affordable housing in Williamsburg. We are going to have problems getting teachers, firefighters, police and county employees.... “You can build and at a reasonable price.”
