It's not about elitism. The towns don't like mobile homes because the value of an individual home is tiny, and doesn't add much to the tax rolls.

- dragontamer 11y agoDo you ever attend a community Town Hall or Home Owner's Association? Meetings rarely talk about the budget, for better or for worse. You'll get legions of concerned mothers talking about the dirty homeless people at the motels and ways to build fences around the motels to protect the kids... or Single-Family homeowners complaining about the black people in the Apartments (I kid you not)... and setting up cameras or paying officers / security firms to patrol those locations. But NEVER have I ever seen anyone complain about low-property taxes of a specific unit at a homeowner's association / town hall. Literally never. People don't give a shit about the budget, they're just too far removed to understand that kind of an issue. Based on my experience, I'm going to call this elitism, not a budget issue.
