NIMBYs hate 'em.

It is kinda too bad, with how often people move these days it'd be pretty convenient to be able to just take your house with you rather than needing to pack it all up and transfer it from one house to another.
>>
>>530322863
most jurisdictions only let you move em once, twice max. That's how you wind up with the inflated vales because the tax man starts assessing it as a real vale property instead of the glorified RV that it is. Best bet is to get into one cheap while you use the equity to build a real house on rural land and then burn the trailer to the ground for the insurance money, kike lightning
>>
>>530324809
My sister and her husband did this, built a massive 4000 sqft house right before covid. Worked out amazing for them.

They didn't burn their old trailer, sold it for $5000, which is pretty sad DESU.

In my state, every single mobile home lot is already filled and you can't just do whatever you want even on your own property. It's an artificial housing squeeze in a lot of ways, of course. Like why they won't allow you to just buy an plot of land in most states and drop a mobile home or a container house. Bullshit to stop affordable housing options. You think those van life people wouldn't rather do that? Of course. But it's not allowed.

>>530322551
From what I’ve seen, a lot of the parks own the plot of land so you’re essentially just leasing it off of them. And that’s why they’re so cheap.

why do normies always say they're "building" their fucking house when they don't do shit? you're not "building" your house, you're sitting on your ass and paying a flock of sweaty mexicans to cobble something together for you. the only people who can actually say that shit are the chads i see on my tiktok building log cabins by hand

Mobile home is only worth it if you put it on a plot of land you actually own. Trailer parks is renting with extra steps.

>>530330100
They will, but there are like 500 million steps you have to do beforehand. All of which cost more than the actual mobile home itself.

>>530330100
checked and checked and you can't put a home in your own land???

Zoning laws. Regulations. Permits. Construction laws. Say you want to buy an acre of land and put a mobile home on it. Gotta see if the county allows that (it usually doesn't). Then gotta pass building regulations. Septic tank? Need an environmental impact report. Want to connect to public utilities like electricity and water? Better make sure the PU will even deem your construction appropriate to their services. A mud hut? Temporary structure and if you live in it for too long the sheriff's office will be there to condemn. God help you if you have children. The most basic legal requirements to have a house that is suitable for children includes a distinct room of their own, hot and cold running water, a gas/electric oven that works, indoor heat, plumbing. Like, they used regulations and created so many laws to prohibit true independent living it is impossible unless you want to be a weird hermit that is alone and is tromping around on your property living in tents and shitting in a hole in the ground. And they'll eventually arrest you for that, too.

Prefab homes struggle due to construction and building laws in higher population density areas. Then the whole buy land in no where sounds good but it's also $$$$$. As you need to factor in hook up to water, sewer etc or off grid systems. Yet none of that is cheap unless you just hermit in a one room log cabin.
Then mobile homes are trash being you own the home but rent the trailer spot. So rent just goes up. Plus now private equity are making moves to take over mobile parks and squeeze everyone to death.... Basically the only way out of the housing issue is rapid building of smaller homes people can afford. Something in the 900sqf-1300sqf range

I know a guy who bought one when he was 18. It was a lot of fun. It wasn’t a trailer park either. The lots were 2 acres. Not exactly enough for farming or whatever but pretty big.

They didn’t catch on because no one wants to commute that far. The entire US housing market is based on the balance of living as far away from pic rel as possible and how long the drive to work is. “Good schools” is just a misnomer for “far away from the blacks.”

Unfortunately they're priced like this in my area.
>>
>>530325178
It can north to 10-20k depending on the moving scenario. I used to price a few of them, but people almost never actually move a mobile unless it forecloses and it's pretty new. The concept of moving these things is basically a joke - they're mobile in the sense it goes from the dealership to the trailer park.

>>530330930
If you live in a civilized area, you have shit loads of regulations deciding what you have to do as a minimum to build a habitable structure. Generally this is to protect OTHER people around your house or who need to enter the house as much as it is you. When you see people on youtube who do tinyhomes with solarpanels and shit going offgrid, they're usually in some midwest flyover state with no standing regulations. In nearly any are where you can drive an hour to work, you're generally going to be looking at environmental impact, plus matching code on any utility connection. It actually makes it expensive enough to where a 3 bedroom home is more economical to build in most places.

There is BS trend in private recreational RV park, like just the longer term camping etc ones, to ban any model over 10 years old. So even a $$$$$$$ full converted custom bus is still nope. I assume the idea is to keep out run down I live here now RVs but it's still shitty.
Being an RV is a RV. If in good condition age should not mater for use. It also kills the used market.

My friend did. Then got screwed by the biggest boomer get fucked move of the board, of all old residents, voting to not cover siding dry rot etc as a collective slush funding unit.

On that point, land is not cheap and the average person cannot afford it or adding utilities. An empty field where I live is like $20k, maybe $60-140k for a trailer (or cabin), and god knows how much for utilities and it literally costs as much as an existing house or condo.

to be honest, ive lived in trailers, ive lived in condos, ive lived in apartments, and ive lived in a house.
The apartment and condo had noises coming through the walls from neighbors. The house is literally full of cracks and shit insulation and the electric bill is massive.

Mobile, Alabama is not pronounced the same way as "mobile".

That does not include the lot rental.
You have to pay rent on top of the mobile home payment.

Mobile homes are also more lightly constructed and take even more regular maintenance to keep from deteriorating than a house, and depreciate in value like a vehicle rather than gain equity.
>>
>>530322551
Lot fees at trailer park homes are absurd, and you can't put one anywhere else in town due to zoning laws. Insurance on trailers is also more than on houses. If you could drop one on any lot I'd do it though, trailers are comfy

>There is BS trend in private recreational RV park, like just the longer term camping etc ones, to ban any model over 10 years old.
Here they did something similar, people were living in long term campings and the jews made a law that only lets you live 6 months per year in a camping. There's an actual worldwide conspiracy to prevent goyim from owning cheap property. And the boomers vote for it.

See that just seems dumb to me. The system obviously wants us moving across the country to better serve our corporate masters, but then it actively prevents us from having homes that are suitable to that lifestyle.

Like imagine how much easier moving would be if all it entailed was hiring some guy to put it on a flatbed and drive it wherever it needed to go. None of our modern houses are actually using the land in any sense like using passive heating/cooling or anything, they could easily be set up as tiny homes that just need a water inlet, a plug and a concrete pad to sit on. Like those housing pods I'm always seeing AI renderings of.

In Japan they built this thing, which was intended so you could have an apartment that just slotted into a tower and you could even take your apartment with you wherever you were going.

The mid 20th century had lots of neat ideas like this; what fucking happened?

>>530338064

I've lived in condos and I find the problem with them is that as people move in and out, all sense of community evaporates, which is when the HOA will usually start acting like distant bureaucrats - that's what they factually become when they have zero emotional attachment to their neighbors.

People are too fungible.

why would any government that makes its money from property taxes ever approve something like this? they want you paying everything you have into a house you can barely afford so they can maximize the amount they can tax you.

FL banned them after Hurricane Andrew in 1991? By simply changing insurance rules not an outright ban. I rented a trailer for $600 a month for several years while I saved for home. It was a 55+ so technically I wasn't supposed to be there but I'm quiet. Also courts ruled you can't be a 55+ it's ageist, but some parks adapted because they had empty units and some stayed old.

Depends on the state. North Dakoda and Florida are like half trailer homes. When I PCS'ed to Minot it was right in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis. I couldn't even get a VA loan. All I could afford to buy cash was an evicted meth heads trailer. I had to replace the water heater and re-plumb the service line in negative 20 and a foot of snow because the fucking retard ran the whole trailer in schedule 20 half inch PVC with no heat tape or insulation. And then I had to redo everything he touched in in poly before I had running water. Luckily The guy I got it off of who had evicted him had mostly remodeled and done a nice job of cleaning. Once I got it squared away it wasn't bad. I only paid 200 for the lot rental and utilities. Overall pretty comfy at the time. Too bad I actually remodeled it only for it to get washed down the river a few months later in the flood. Lost a pretty good chunk of cash in that.

They're cool if you own the land underneath it. Though nowadays, most non-shithole towns have (((zoning laws and HOAs))) that keep you from living in one on your own land.
Trailer parks are out of the question, the owner of the land can kick you off to sell it and build a Circumcision Center anytime he wants.
>>
>>530322551
most of the time theyre in trailer parks where you own the mobile home, but not the land! gotta pay renters fee that can go up any time.

buying your own land and dropping a mobile home on it is a good way to go though.
>>
>>530340335
I don't understand why you wouldn't just build something the more traditional way at this point. The savings can't be that much.
>>
>>530322551
Usually rental in trailer parks which have become worse than HOAs from my understanding.
Increased danger from high winds although that is more regional to me.
In addition, towns really dislike them because trailers being common are a debuff for a town to become a city. So aspirant town mayors will create regulations that discourage or prevent things that will cause their town to have less of a chance to become a city.
If I ever meet a woman worth marrying and want to build a house rather than buying a house then I will likely go the trailer house on foundation route. Then if it stands up to time give it to first kid to live in when they turn 18 to live in rent free until they are ready to move out. Maybe have a few more put on property for multiple kids.
