Trailer Park

A trailer park is a semi-permanent or permanent area for Mobile Homes or travel trailers. Advantages include lower cost compared to other housing, and the ability to move to a new area more quickly and easily, for example when changing jobs to a distant place while keeping the same home. The Mobile Home industry led by Warren Buffett has resisted the application of Building Codes to mobile homes, an exemption that has allowed the industry to reap record windfall profits for decades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_park
