Do you look down at people who live in trailers? Is it okay to ridicule people who live in trailers?

153. I live in a single wide, quite happily.

What people who live in houses they own never talk much about is how much they cost to maintain and improve. In my little park, I have a postage stamp sized lawn, a minimal area to shovel after snows, and somebody else plows the streets, just like at my old house, which we sold to move here. I don't know all my neighbors, but the ones I know are lovely people, and the salt of the earth. I own this house free and clear, and have a lot less yard work to do. While I live in a hardhearted capitalistic society, I will never even think of apologizing for my little house. I have been steadily improving it, out of old habit, and it's both comfortable and pretty. A friend of mine used to say that owning a car was a controlled loss. Renting an apartment or a house will get you a good credit rating, but no equity. So ownership is the way to go, but who can afford current house prices? Let's just start spreading the word that trailer park residents are smart people.
