It used to be that Clothes Make the Man.
Now it's the House Makes the Man.
But remember this old saying?
Handsome is as Handsome does.
Living in a mobile home does not turn people into hopeless drug addicts or amoral gangsters.
That said, mobile homes are not good in places where there are tornados or hurricanes. But the idea that if a bunch of people live in trailers they'll become or remain lowlifes, but if they live in McMansions they'll miraculously turn into model citizens, emblems of moral rectitude is magical thinking.
I think the worry is that once established, the trailer farms will end up being permanent government housing, and end up being filled with the low lifes , not that they will turn anyone into them. Anyone who can claw his way out will, and only the bottom will remain. Just like the high rise slums like Cabrini Green or Robert Taylor homes in my old home town of Chicago.
Maybe not, but it does have an effect on their dental health somehow.
