In San Francisco this would be the equivalent of buying a few SROs, which the city has banned. I think sales like this (and SROs) should be permitted so long as only higher density with enough units set aside to replace the displaced previous residents on-premises. That would be a win-win, I think, but it would mean that the residents would need to be displaced for some amount of time, which is hard to do when you don't have any available units to absorb them. This particular location is relatively well served by public transit. It's not terribly close to caltrain (~1 mile) and it's right off of El Camino. The alternative it seems is to let these residences languish and decompose while people live in them. I suppose this isn't quite as big of a problem in a trailer park as residents can attempt to get a new trailer, but I suspect their land rental will go up so much that even that becomes impossible. I think that sucks.
