BucketCat 04/30/24 1:21:59 PM #1:	with housing prices going crazy and rent also being crazy high, a lot of people (myself included) are considering things like tiny homes, mobile homes, prefabs, etc. but it seems like a ton of these communities are only for 55+ year olds. why is that? I can understand it from a "old people don't wanna do yardwork, the mobile home park takes care of that as part of a lot fee" but what else? maybe they don't want kids around? couldn't they just say "no kids" and allow childless individuals and couples move in? --- ? <cite>BucketCat posted [p:980171412] in how come s...

Its quite common and yeah its mostly for a calmer lifestyle, quieter, less chaotic. Its just a more mature and peaceful community. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

Cuticrusader09 04/30/24 1:44:15 PM #5:	I thought mobile home parks are bad because while you own the home you dont own the land it is on. So the actually land owners can raise rents to ridiculous amounts and you are SOL since mobile homes arent actually mobile. <cite>Cuticrusader09 posted [p:980171736] in how come s...

While true at the end of the day the majority of the time lot rent isnt all that different than paying property taxes on your home which can also be raised quite a bit at any time too. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.
