The League of California Cities March 2007 Focus on Housing highlighted Brotherton Square, a manufactured home community subsidized by the city of Escondido for families who qualify for low- and moderate-income housing. Brotherton Square features 22 homes ranging in size from 1,160 to 1,420 square feet.
In the article Beverly Peterka, Escondido’s housing division manager, is quoted
as saying, "There is not enough affordable housing in Escondido. Our city council
