If I owned a tiny old trailer park and could sell it for $55 million, I would definitely do so.

If this is so important to the culture of the city, let the city buy it for that price and maintain it as a living museum like Colonial Williamsburg dedicated to educating the public of the history and culture of trailer park lifestyle.

If you read the article, you would see that the city/county is offering to buy the trailer park for $39 million.

Why should they get a discount?

They haven't done negotiating yet...

So, paying $16MM in "protection money" to the city is the answer, then?
