Not OP here, I live in a rural area with overcrowded schools. This policy will increase the allowable density by a minimum of 80x for over 10,000 acres that are currently zoned agricultural. There is no infrastructure to support this and my kids schools will be ruined by overcrowding. Even if only a small fraction of this amount is developed it will be disastrous for my county.

Not OP. But yes, I have. And they fall apart quite quickly. They are not "nice."


OP here my parents grew up a trailer park and they would not want one their neighborhood. You guys on DCUM are clueless about the crime and social problems that they will bring to your community. People that are move out of trailer parks do everything they can do avoid being near them ever again in their life.


Yeah, I think these "trailers are nice!" people have never been anywhere near an actual trailer park.


The reality is any trailer park in a decent part of the DMV would look like the trailer park near Malibu in CA where the units sell for $1MM+ (even though you don’t own the land).

Is anyone claiming there aren’t tons of locations in the entire state of VA where trailer parks may be part of housing solutions? It’s silly to think the economics even remotely make sense in expensive NoVa.


Right. In NoVa you need to build denser (but of course NIMBYs like OP deny that too).

These policies harm regular hard-working people that don't have the resources to buy their way out of problems.

+ Elites mock them for their concerns.

Manufactured housing is not likely a way to build wealth but it is definitely one piece of the affordable housing puzzle. OP sounds clueless and entitled.

I think a little tiny home community would be amazing!

They fall apart in wind storms and tornados.


The trailer parks in Fairfax County don't seem to fall apart. I would know, I live next to Harmony Place. The county is itching for mixed use development there though. They won't survive that.

I fully support getting rid of parking minimums. If you want guaranteed parking, then pay for a spot. But don’t stop new development just so you can park on the street next to your house. And the mobility impaired will get handicapped spots.

What’s wrong with eliminating parking minimums? At most some places will have parking and some won’t.
