re: What are trailer parks like IRL?

I’ve only been inside a trailer park once. I met this chick in the late 90s. She was from Denham and she gave me directions to her house to pick her up one night. She said, “turn left and then the first right, and I’m the 4th trailer on the left”. I was stunned. Didn’t know what to say.
She looked good though so I went to pick her up. Went out with her a couple of times and then we drifted apart. She has that trashy Denham Springs gene lurking inside her so I knew she wasn’t a keeper.

There were two in Kennesaw where I grew up, both were very large. And the management companies (HOA's?) kept them non-trashy. It was mostly whites and Mexicans, I didn't see a whole lot of black people. I had two friends that lived there, both singlewides. Single mothers.
I never was there at night, so I don't know if all hell broke loose after dark, but in the daytime it was more like the Starlight trailer park in The Last Starfighter.

Live within 3 miles of the 2 largest trailer parks in the state. About 1100 units. One was not here when we moved here in 1979. The other was under tight control by the founder, who owned a construction company. If you screwed up, you lost your job and house on the same day and it was major deterrence. Its been down hill since
1. Always had alcohol problems, but those are worse and now magnified into drug problems. You can get any drug you want there. There's been 2 meth lab busts, several heroin busts. Alcohol continues to be an major issue- the kids in there start early. They have no chance
2. Mental illness. You could staff a construction company with young men in there that have major mental illness. They have had several elderly residents attacked- one of which went viral a couple years ago.
My local police department has been in there 3 times before noon on several occasions.
That group is horrific- Of the people I have dealt with trespassing /poaching, 8 of them have overdosed since 2018, 2 suicide, 1 shot to death by drug dealers, and the other ran into a tree at 90mph.

I grew up in the LP. I had many friends that lived in trailorparks in the 80s and 90s. Trailer parks in those days were a lot like the big builder neighborhoods of today. Generally a mix of young families, blue collar, recently divorced people, and retirees. Eastover estates even had a neighborhood pool.

I didn’t live in a trailer park as much as a dirt road that was all trailers. It was fine. Couple druggies at the end of the road but they kept to themselves. One random guy that collected junk but also kept to himself. Everyone was either nice and friendly or quiet.

BabyTac might wanna share his real life one day and not his made up life he lives on here.

When I was in high school in the 80's, my father served as foreman for the Grand Jury in our parish. The only thing in life he ever forbade me to do was live in a trailer or in a trailer park because of the amount of crime and the situations he witnessed that came before the grand jury

I really enjoy unique parenting takes like this based on individual life experience. Props to your dad; it’s a good rule of thumb.
I do feel for people who have no other choice - or rather, the only other choice is homelessness - but I think I’d do just about everything possible to prevent my children from ever having to experience such a life. Hopelessness thrives in trailer parks, and I can’t imagine that has any positive effect on a person’s psychology.
