My daughter used to have a silly game with a crystal ball called “Ask Zandar,†perhaps we should question a crystal ball?
I have more faith in the stars.
Or perhaps a crystal ball called "Ask Zillow".
“homedeptor�???
Alright...So I mispelled a word..... "astrid"????
well, I thought you were intentionally trying to poke fun at somebody
"Yes, the tweakers have presented a problem for my friend in the trailer park biz.(or mobile home parks, as he calls them)"
In commercial lending we call them "Manufactured Home Communities"...

"In commercial lending we call them “Manufactured Home Communitiesâ€â€¦"
FAB, I hope I don't come across as completely ignorant, but I'm curious what sort of interests lead to "mfgr home communities"? Given how hard it is to move the trailers around, this sort of split ownership seems like a bum deal, particularly for the trailer owners. They're placing their immobile property in a place and betting that the mfgr home community will continue to be affordable and will not be slated for more lucrative developments(which seems like an easy temptation given the low cost of preexisting infrastructure).
Are these places considerably cheaper to run compared to apartments and thus produce enough economic benefits for both the trailer owner and the trailer park owner?

We should just make apartments more appealing. Why should they even have things like "on-site laundry facilities"? I thought it is the 21st century!
