No.... but I rent one on seven acres up here in Washington.

I am not poor, but it is cheap, and ideal for what I'm doing right now. I am not here to lobby for the trailer trash sect, but I don't like a snob that would ban trailers from Florida because ~bonk~ it just seems like a good idea and we wouldn't have to see the mess on TV.

You have a wrong impression. This is the problem in trying to talk about this with people who are defensive.

It's not about snobbism or what's cheap. In the case of Florida it's about what's safe. These homes are not safe. I have looked into their safety more than you know.

I did preface this conversation by saying that building codes here in California are NOT cheap. They are strict. But when there is an earthquake in Pakistan kills 60,000, the same magnitude here in California kills 10. So, strict building codes work.

I am remodeling my home now. It's not old, but strict building codes keep me safe in an earthquake. I know it.
