My house had wheels when I was working on my undergrad. Shit was hella cheap, 200 a month rent and more space than an apartment. The trailer itself was like $2000, saved so much money on rent during that time. Finally had to move out when my neighbor burned down two other trailers over some feud. Their friends started talking about burning down his trailer in retaliation and I was like "oshi time to move before some redneck burns my shit down by mistake".

The very few trailer parks left anywhere in my area are outright slums, but most of them have been torn down and replaced with apartments. The ghettos too. Like we used to have a pretty strong ghetto on the north side of town whose name escapes me but everyone was forced out and it was torn down and replaced with affordable apartments that are pretty nice actually.

Back in like the 80s I can remember there seeming like there were more trailer parks around here. But Lexington has really expanded its suburbs over the past two decades, and a lot of the places I remember being trailer parks have been flat out torn down and replaced with houses. Because housing here is CHEAP. Or was, for decades land here was cheap.
Now, what people do do, not very often but it is heard of, is purchase a good, new trailer, like a double wide, plant it on a plot of land, and then expand around it. I don't know why they do that but they do.

Yeah, I've seen them do it around here too. I'm not exactly sure why. I really don't think they're doing it because they're idiots. I assume that the people doing that have something that keeps them from getting a mortgage.
There's probably that really shitty spot to be in where the bank has no interest whatsoever in making you a 20 or 30 year loan for $250,000 -- but they're perfectly willing to make you a 5 or 10 year loan for 50. And once you take that first deal you're kinda locked in.
