The real hill to die on is the private equity firms buying trailer parks, then extorting poor people who own trailers but not the land under them. Imagine having a 50 year old trailer you grew up in and you inherited, and it’s your only asset but it’s too old to move. Suddenly the trailer park is bought by a hedge fund and rent is increased to an unaffordable level. This is happening all over America right now.
