Comments on: Imagine… http://musicandcats.com/2005/10/imagine/ "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." --Albert Schweitzer Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:08:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: serial catowner http://musicandcats.com/2005/10/imagine/comment-page-1/#comment-967 serial catowner Fri, 14 Oct 2005 22:39:02 +0000 http://musicandcats.com/?p=292#comment-967 One idea I've had is that people who end up living in trailers should get the title to the trailer and a condominium share of the land the trailers sit on. This is legally very easy to do, about a third of Seattle's houseboats are moored to condominium-owned docks, so each houseboat owner has an equal and undivided share of ownership of the moorage. The biggest problem with mobile homes is the fact that the residents don't own the trailer parks, which leads directly to a great evil, the trailer park owners evict them and they can't find a space for a "used" trailer. Not only the houseboat community, but several other small-house communities in Seattle show that small houses close to their neighbors is not inherently bad, and for some of us can be a positive good. And thanks for the thread- I've been disappointed in the lack of thinking in the blogosphere about these problems.
