Boston Residents Concerned About Proposed Mobile Home Park
An application for a proposed new 110 lot mobile home park on Boston State Road was tabled after more questions came up concerning the development. “We have a lot more to question” said Patricia Hacker, the Town Board Vice-Chairwoman.
Hacker said, regarding living in trailers near a highway “no one want to live that way”. Other residents cited concerns about being able to rent the lots, and also the fact that the property has an ancient Quaker cemetery on it.
Mark Shiralli, a town resident, said “let’s get a developer in here who wants to build homes – that’s what we need”.
Frank & Dave’s Opinion of This Story:
One thing that maintains the value of mobile home parks is the fact that virtually nobody in the U.S. wants a new one built in their city, town, county or state. If you ever want to unite a community – to get them marching with pitchforks and flaming torches – then all you have to do is to propose building a new mobile home park. And that’s great, because it keeps the supply of parks static, and creates a lot of the value in your park investment.
