I'm not 100% sure but I don't believe planning & zoning will allow any new "trailer parks".

This is true.

Anyone who's been around in St. Mary's for a number of years knows that the number of trailer parks has been on the decrease. There's only a handful left.

It's a shame because in some places in the US trailer parks are a nice and affordable alternative. They don't all have to be a hot mess. And it is pretty sad we don't have a whole lot of affordable housing around here.

Even back in the late 80's, the trailer parks around here were drug central. Lived in one while the house was being built. Car chases through them in the middle of the night, shooting, etc. Always had the shotgun handy.

Dave Ramsey briefly addressed this on one of his shows. He said, on one hand trailer parks are a financial gold mine. On the other, every day is a soap opera dealing with the tenants.

thanks for all the replies, i appreciate them all whether for or against, i just like to know why. i have not read anything from LUGM. i have been to planning and zoning. there is a $10k application fee, yea thats right. anyone wondering why no new ones are popping up? well and septic is required in undeveloped areas, city water and sewer in developed ones.

my goal is to have a slightly higher end trailer park. i wanted a little park area for kids, a dog park/running area, a trail around the park for walks after work, and a central gezebo for gatherings/chilling on a day off. people rent the land, own their own trailer. these usually make for nicer trailers, longer rental terms, and more stable renters.

mechanicsville needs more affordable housing. the only apartments in the 400-500$mo price range and small dark and dingy. there is nothing in the 600-900 range. nothing. from there you go to peoples basements and renting full houses.

Don't do it. You'll be sorry because of this:
every day is a soap opera dealing with the tenants.

You'll end up with druggies, Sec.8, and assorted other ruffians. They will bust up that gazebo and the park will be filled with crack pipes and needles. I'm being serious. This isn't the area for it.
