>Living in a trailer isn't noteworthy
It isn't cool. That's the problem. I listen to a podcast about a week ago (sorry forget all the details) on the general topic of how do you sell mobile home materials and economics and lifestyle to people who don't think mobile homes are "cool" especially not for "the cool people". Well, change the name, call it a tiny house or tiny apartment, all done.
There is an interesting economic side issue. Because bubbles are bubbles we can assume real estate will go up 5% per year into infinity, right? That solves the classic problem with RV / mobile home trailer parks where the materials are not built to last more than a couple years... wait for real estate bubble appreciation to build up for five years, cash out refinance, then gut and remodel. Doesn't matter if nothing in there will last more than 10 years if the business model is to gut and remodel every 5... Of course if the financial situation changes and prices can't go up 5% annually in perpetuity, then imagine what the place will look like in 20, 30 years.
