Urban Renewal/Beautification and NIMBYism to an extent killed both trailer parks and single occupancy units.
I'd also note the death of the boarding house between 1920 and 1970 as another issue contributing to things.
- Incipient 4y agoIn the 50-100 years since then, you think we don't have the tech or capacity to have been able to "upgrade" trailer parks into even studio apartments? Feels like a huge oversimplification to just say "all would be fine if we had trailer parks".
- manicdee 4y agoYou say “trailer parks” I say “affordable housing”. Affordable housing solutions like dorms and bedsit apartment blocks aren’t feasible in many places like the USA where it’s literally illegal to build anything other than high rise apartments or standalone homes.
