Painting everyone with the same brush
All MHC residents are poor?
Everyone living in a mobile home is low-income. Protect people living in mobile homes.
Between the park with homes selling for $5 million (link here) and this week’s park, Briney Breeze in Palm Beach County, which has rejected a $500 million offer (link here), I think it’s time to put to bed the idea that anyone living in a mobile home is “low income”. Briney Breeze residents stood to receive just over $1 million each. Poor indeed.
Enjoy!
