For what it's worth my in-laws specifically chose to buy a second home in a mobile home park. I don't know all their reasons but the low cost of the land was part of it. I've seen their "trailer" and it's quite nice, so I wouldn't necessarily assume everyone who lives in one of these places does so out of desperation or lack of choices. People have different needs and wants.

A lot of the California ones are pretty decent. I dated a girl who lived in one. I also stayed in an Airbnb that was in one. The owner, who lived there, was a woman with a Stanford degree. They're cheap and reasonable places to live with a lot of stigma. The ones I saw around me growing up in Virginia were... shitty.
