If mobile home parks are flourishing, it may be due to the government NOT being too heavily involved in them. Plus, there is one notch even lower on the “home front” which is living out of an RV. Selling most of your possessions and existing in a travel trailer is not a bad way for the elderly who don’t want to be tied down by property issues.
Plus, it affords you the ability to vote in multiple states. ;P
Mobile home parks: Not a good idea if there are tornadoes in your neighborhood. Houses built with insulated concrete forms are more energy efficient and are much more tornado proof.
This thread reminds me of a joke. How are a divorce in Arkansas and a tornado alike?
Either way, somebody loses a house trailer.
