The American cultural stereotype might equate trailers with survival, but here in Boulder, people are choosing the trailer park as a way to thrive. Through interviews and photographs "Trailer Park People" explores the value of downsizing, settling in, growing a garden, creating community, and investing in less. When we explored this mobile home park in the heart of Boulder, Colorado, we found a hub of conscious living. By choosing a tiny space, residents find they can live more sustainably and simply, in one of America's most beautiful cities.

"Take a trip back to BJ’s Trailer Court in this third installment of the Trailer Park Series. Now, adults, the Morrison sisters continue to navigate the socioeconomic challenges that young people face growing up in trailer parks in the Appalachia and rust belt areas. This finale is heartwarming, heart wrenching, and immersive. Authentic depictions of domestic violence, drug addiction, and poverty serve as a backdrop for the story. The characters range from gritty, beautiful people who manage to shine light in dark places, to tragically flawed ones who succumb to the many pitfalls of life in a world that is largely misunderstood and often the butt of jokes." - back cover

In rural northern Idaho in the winter of 2013-2014, Syringa Mobile Home Park’s water system was contaminated by sewage, resulting in residents’ water being shut off for 93 days. By summer 2018 Syringa had closed, forcing residents to relocate or face homelessness. Trailer Park America chronicles how residents dealt with regulatory agencies, frequent boil order notices, threats of closure, and class-based social stigma over this period. Despite all this, what was seen as a dysfunctional, ‘disorderly’ community by outsiders was instead a refuge where veterans, women heads of households, and people with disabilities or substance use disorders were supported and understood. The embattled Syringa community also organized to defend the rights and dignity of residents and served as a site for negotiating with local government, culminating in a class-action lawsuit that reached the federal level. The experiences Syringa residents faced in this conservative, predominately white region of the United States are emblematic of the growing national and global crisis in affordable housing and home ownership, with declining work conditions and incomes for the working-class.

Singlewide written by Sonya Salamon and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with Housing, Rural categories.
In Singlewide, Sonya Salamon and Katherine MacTavish explore the role of the trailer park as a source of affordable housing. America's trailer parks, most in rural places, shelter an estimated 12 million people, and the authors show how these parks serve as a private solution to a pressing public need. Singlewide considers the circumstances of families with school-age children in trailer parks serving whites in Illinois, Hispanics in New Mexico, and African Americans in North Carolina. By looking carefully at the daily lives of families who live side by side in rows of manufactured homes, Salamon and MacTavish draw conclusions about the importance of housing, community, and location in the families' dreams of opportunities and success as signified by eventually owning land and a conventional home. Working-poor rural families who engage with what Salamon and MacTavish call the "mobile home industrial complex" may become caught in an expensive trap starting with their purchase of a mobile home. A family that must site its trailer in a land-lease trailer park struggles to realize any of the anticipated benefits of homeownership. Seeking to break down stereotypes, Salamon and MacTavish reveal the important place that trailer parks hold within the United States national experience. In so doing, they attempt to integrate and normalize a way of life that many see as outside the mainstream, suggesting that families who live in trailer parks, rather than being "trailer trash," culturally resemble the parks' neighbors who live in conventional homes.

TammieJane lives with her daughter MollyBeth in a small trailer park called 'Shady Grove Trailer Court' which is one of the worst trailer parks in all of Texas. It's a shady place to live with hardly any shade left. She is also the manager of this dump, but not by her choice. Here y'all find potlucks, pot bellies, pot smokers, cheaters, beaters, screamers, criers, and maybe even a few runaways. Compared to the size of the state, this itty-bitty town of Bottom Grove, Texas has the most action of all places. Will it ever end? Probably not!********** There is more that goes on in this Trailer Court than potlucks in the Recreation Hall every Sunday after church. TammieJane is the manager and could write a book about everything she sees and hears of what goes on here. If it wasn't for the money from running this place, she would take her daughter, MollyBeth to Hollywood to be an actress. She learned a lot about drama just by all the daily reports she writes. Each day was like a soap opera, with either drunken men hitting their women, mama's screaming at their brats or something worse. 911 is pre-programmed for speed-dial on every phone in the park. The Cop Shop is three blocks away, but always twenty minutes too late for most incidents. Oh, and the part about 'love thy neighbor?' Yeah, that happens more than you think and not just after dark. There is more trailer trash here than in the dumpster!

The derogatory term trailer trash didn't exist fifty years ago. Mobile homes were accepted by the public as respectable residences for middle-income people. After the 1980s, things suddenly changed. Living in a trailer was looked upon as a demeaning lifestyle by some members of society. I have friends that lived in house trailers while growing up. Some of them will no longer admit to such. Everyone has a story to tell. Unfortunately, some book publishers over the years have made it so only elitist celebrities get to share theirs. Their flamboyant pictures are splashed on the front of countless book and magazine covers as if these lives are the only ones that matter. I believe every person on this planet has something interesting to say, even trailer park refugees.

Trailer-park owners never use the word "trailer" and certainly not the term "trailer park." At some point in time, even the Mobile Home Park Owners Association (MHPOA for short) realized that the word "trailer" had a negative connotation. When was the last time you saw a "trailer park community" advertised on TV? "Trailer park" has come to represent, in the minds of most Americans, men in stained work shirts dotted with drippings of food fat and car excrement returning home to take out life's shortcomings on the innocents in their lives--the ol' lady, the dog, and the coffee table. This image--which, I can tell you, is a partially true cliche in our society--vaguely explains why my parents and my grandparents decided to rent to tenants without children or pets. Well, birds and rodents were deemed acceptable but not guinea pigs. Guinea pigs, due to size and temperament, were completely unacceptable. My name is Angie Cavallari, and this is my story about growing up as an '80s child in the shitty, impoverished, modern-age ghettos known as trailer parks.
