Ask the HN demographics what "good poors" live like (though you'll have to be more tactful than that to get a real answer) and you'll probably get some answer about a cheap apartment in a city, maybe with roommates, taking public transit, etc. When the smoke and drink they do it inside. Their kids play video games or go to the park. When they want extra money they pick up another job. You get the picture. They're out of sight and out of mind.
The trailer park life is pretty much the opposite of that. Poors that have space, even if just the small space of a trailer sized lot, use it efficiently. They have 1.x cars per person because 1 isn't enough redundancy. They hang their laundry on a clothes line. They litter their lawn with "unsightly" stuff they're flipping for extra cash. They sit around drinking beer while burning something in an old washing machine drum.
It's the same old superiority complex and desire to tell other people how to live that's plagued humanity for all of history.
