What are trailer parks like IRL?

I’ve been on a trailer park boys binge lately, and have to say I don’t know where this show has been all my life. No one is too high brow for TPB.
Is this what living in trailer parks is like in real life?

When you were a kid, did you blow bubbles?

I lived in one 20+ years ago in the country in St Landry parish. Small, maybe 12-15 trailers. Mine was at the very back facing a wooded area and a field. Got me a Benjamin pump and killed some squirrels. Had a fire pit and enjoyed the quiet. Was there for only a year or two.

When I first started dating my girlfriend , down the road from her house was a trailer park. Her daughter had a friend that lived in them and I'd have to pick her up sometimes.
I'm not saying all trailer parks are like this but this one had:
Run down trailers that look like they were manufactured in the late 1970s.
Pot holes the size of half the car everywhere.
"Slow down" signs , made from ripped ply wood , with runny neon spray paint every few yards.
Trash and junk piled up at them scattered through out.
When you entered, you could hear gangster rap blaring on one side and Mexican music blaring on the other.
Among other things...
Also if you looked up sex offenders in the area, that place was lit up like a Christmas tree with red dots.

I’ve lived next door to trailer parks and had several friends and family who lived in them. Here’s what I experienced:
1) Noise. Just constant sounds of dogs barking, people yelling, cars/trucks with loud subwoofers or busted mufflers, gun shots, kids playing outside - which is healthy and positive, but usually it’s your sort of “latch key kids” skipping school and riding bikes around shirtless and screaming at the top of their lungs.
2) Stuff. The amount of stuff everyone has surrounding their trailer is overwhelming because storage in trailers is limited and there are almost never garages or sheds for things. So you have shite just spilling out all around the radius of the trailer - 3 grills, a couple cars on cinder blocks, an old toilet or washing machine, tires, kids toys.
3) Transience. Most of the residents are there temporarily for one reason or another. Getting back on their feet, in town for a short term work project, newly divorced, cant hold down a job and bounce from place to place without ever paying rent. This creates almost no incentive for anyone to maintain anything or invest in keeping the property in good condition. It really doesn’t take long for a new mobile home park to fall into disrepair. Why bother landscaping if Cletus or Felontre is just going to park in the yard? Why keep the community area clean if Tammy or Quantisha are going to leave used needles laying around?
4) Nice Vehicles. Notwithstanding what I said above, it’s not uncommon to see a $70k truck and a new Harley parked out front of a dumpy trailer. Low impulse control, poor financial habits, lack of self discipline - chalk it up to whatever you want.
5) Roaming Packs of Animals. Pets and thugs alike.
There’s more of course, but the tl;dr is imagine any street in Baton Rouge named after a President or Indian tribe and you’re not far off.

Dated a girl in high school that lived in Sweetbriar trailer park off hwy 61 around port Hudson. I remember people talking about it being a nicer one. Honestly don’t remember any issues. Everyone knew everyone but never really got a trashy vibe.
Went to a wedding reception in their ‘clubhouse’ once. Looking back now, it was prob pretty trashy by OT standards.

If you don't have double wide, your home life is all in 2 directions. Had a friend that lived in one for a couple of years on a farm and he said never again, because of this.

Biggest piece of advice I give young people is to buy land/acreage and a trailer until you can afford to build vs spending $300-$400k on a DR Horton home where your lot is measured in sq ft.
