For those of us who live in the United States, we tend to have a perspective of trailer parks that goes one of a few ways. They are either where someone starts out, where someone retires on the cheap, or where someone ends up when things go horribly wrong.
People don’t exactly move to trailer parks because they want to, or at least that is the stereotype that the media often carries. A lot of good folks live in trailer parks, and they do it because they just don’t see the need for a super big expensive house that they only use half the rooms to begin with.
They’re also good places to live because you can tend to keep your total cost of living down. Well, except for one trailer park where for some reason the cost of living is actually through the roof.
What I am about to tell you about blew me away when I first saw it, given I was a kid who grew up in a trailer park in the Midwest. There is a trailer park in Montauk, New York where the rent is a staggering $20,000 per month.
Now, I’ll give you a little bit of time to recover. Ya good? Ok, I know that hearing that the rent on a trailer in any part of the world is a fifth of that ridiculous amount would knock anyone to their knees.
One of the trailers at the Montauk trailer park recently sold for 3.75 million dollars. Think of the size of a house that you would be able to buy practically anywhere else in the country.
There’s a reason why trailers are going for such a ridiculous amount of money. It’s a little thing called The Hamptons.
You know, that part of New York state where all of the rich kissed behinds of the liberal elite have decided to make their little playground. And as you probably know, whenever rich kissed behinds show up to be kissed they bring their sacks of money along with them.
Which in turn raises the prices. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs if you are someone who lives within a certain income bracket and can’t find an adequate place to live because some rich pain in the behind comes up and forces the prices up so high that the average person cannot afford it.
Living in a trailer park is something that shouldn’t be considered a luxury on par with going on a cruise around the world.
