Abstract:
There are around 4,000 trailer parks in North Carolina with fifteen percent of the state's population living in almost 600,000 mobile homes. In the world of real estate those who live in trailer parks are considered second-class citizens. They do not own the land; they are not considered property owners; their homes depreciate; they have few legal rights. When the park owner decides to raise the rent or sell the property to a developer, residents have only the choice of paying the increase or moving. Geary discusses parks in the Raleigh area that are dealing with rezoning issues.
