(2,768 posts)And it is a home, planted in the ground and not mobile and certainly not a trailer. A couple of years ago a rezoning issue was up for consideration by our city council. The turnout by manufactured home residents was sizable. One of the council members referred to our homes as trailer. The crowd hissed and booed. One resident corrected him and he apologized.
When I went for a refi, I had to prove that my home could not be moved. Right - how would I hitch it up to a truck? There's no way to attach it.
There is so much stigmatism against manufactured homes, mobile homes, trailers, etc. but it is the only really affordable housing in my area. I didn't want to rent and be subject to a landlords whims. This is what I could afford. I don't let my coworkers come to my house or tell them where I live for fear they'll get snotty with me. They all have traditional homes but then, they have two incomes. Some of them are house poor. I'm not.
