Those trailer parks in North Boulder are very well hidden. Many don’t even realize they’re there. Some of the nicest trailers I’ve ever seen, FWIW.

I don't think that's true. Those parks aren't big and they're still expensive because the property itself is expensive.

Most of the poverty number is due to all the college students - there are 33k of them in a town of 108k.

There's also the hippy co-ops like the radish.

There's also a ton of kids waiting fir their trust fund to, vest I guess?, and don't really care that they aren't making any money at the moment.

Most cities try to hide trailer parks as much as possible. 99% Invisible recently did an episode on mobile homes that was pretty interesting.

Actually there are trailer parks in, I think, 4 different places in Boulder.
