Are people losing their homes or are they getting their homes bought?

I think I understand what you are trying to say, but, the ground truth is there are people who've lived there for 30+ years and pay $1000/month for their home (which probably has a net value of $5k or less) - and when the trailer park shuts down, they really have nowhere to go.
So look, I read Ayn Rand when I was in college, I get economic impact of rent-control, and how it actually ends up hurting the lower socio economic strata - It's not like I'm ignorant of all these things.
It's just, at the end of the day - I can appreciate how it would suck to have your entire world ripped apart.
