sox4lifeinPA Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Redneck Millionaires The owners of nearly 500 mobile homes in one of the last waterfront trailer-park towns in South Florida stand to become instant millionaires if they agree to sell to a developer. But some are holding out, saying there are things more important than money. like collecting insurance money every time a hurricane rips off their damn tin roofs? nothing like redneck principle. Do these people not understand the point of real estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 It'd be cool if they didn't sell. I love seeing people put community over money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailer Park living.........or being a millionaire? Trailer Park living........or being a millionaire Trailer Park living...........or being a millionaire If they want to live together so badly how bout take that money...................build nice homes elsewhere.........put the rest away for their future. This is about as big a no-brainer as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Unless there's something else to this story like this developer having kinda run over one of their dogs (replace the word kinda with the word repeatedly and the word dog with son), I'm afraid I'm going to wind up with Nuke on this one.

Mplssoxfan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Clearly, this is not your stereotypical "trailer park". It's inevitable that they sell, but I hope that they hold out for a little more money from the developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't live in a trailer park on the ocean like that, but it appears to be a functioning community... and I think that's something worth valuing. Over a s*** ton of condos in a flooded market? Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 It's not about the money, it's about the community. It's about the interaction between neighbors. Something that our society has forgotten a lot about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The couple paid just $155,000 for their home and now stand to make close to $1.5 million. and trailer and site he bought two years ago for $150,000. "This is my home." Just some cheap trailers. We just went through this on South Padre Island, the County has a great RV park and public access beaches on the Island and wanted to sell it to a developer for hundreds of millions. The public was outraged and the land is staying open for public use and for the winter Texans and their RVs. BTW, there wasn't any pictures but manufactured homes have come a long way. They range up to $1,000,000 in some ski areas to hundreds of thousands in other areas. I'd consider a $150,000 trailer on the beach with literally a billion dollar view. I'd rather have a well founded sailboat in the harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
