I’m a ditchdigger who used to live in a trailer.
And damn proud of it.
The one I live I own. It is on a rented lot. But the landlord pays the $80/month city bill out of my $250 lot rent. We have a nice yard. I own the trailer across the street. My son and grand kids live in it. Both are remodeled. People are not allowed to accumulate trash. All vehicles must be in running condition. We own all 5 of our vehicles. I am a professional tradesman. Most of my friends, family, and acquaintances are too. So if I need a plumber, electrician, HVAC, mechanic, ditch digger, well driller, etc. I just phone a friend/family. If they need a carpenter they call me. No one charges for their services as any parts are paid for by whoever needs the fixing.
We take care of each other. And don’t need smarmy politicians and bureaucrats interfering.
I just josh about the trailor stuff. I have a couple of good friends who live in them. One of who lives in an exposed area up on a mountain. Beautiful view, and ideal hunting land, but I worry about her and her family as we are prone to tornadoes....but, thankfully, they have a storm shelter.
Well, as long as you didn’t use your fingernails.
And you know, I lived in a trailer, for a time, with my “wife to be”, as I was reminded by a neighbor, and I got kicked out by the owner ... an unseemly affair which included a lampshade blowing off the back of a pickup truck as we made our exit. Sered in my memory. So ... I’m there.
