We Will All Retire to Trailer Parks and It’s Going to Be Great

TRAILER PARKS are great, A+ locations for seniors to live and grow old and then die in, writes Lisa Margonelli. Way, way, way better than senior living apartments. You get your own little house and you can have a little garden and a dog and everyone goes on walks and knows everyone and there’s gossip and it’s wonderful. And also money doesn’t matter in the trailer park, really, because you’re all living in a trailer park. IT IS LITERALLY A CLASSLESS SOCIETY.

The downside is that trailers in trailer parks can be terrible investments because they are treated like vehicles not houses, so they lose value as soon as you move in and also insurance is difficult to get. But some people are trying to work on that so maybe by the time you’re ready for your pre-made house on a cliff, it’ll be smart for your life AND your portfolio.
