Disability parking removed from mobilehome park in San Jose CA

Once again - classist advisors belittle a mobile home owner into agreeing with their landlord.

Huh? Please list by post # the "belittling" comments.

Thanks for admitting the classism.

Oh Dear God! What is your advice since you seem to believe that I and the others that responded are elitist jerks?

Is it so hard to call it a mobile home?
Does it really burn you anti-pc buns that much to talk about somenone's home with respect?

The reference to "trailer" vs. "mobile home" is neither "classist" nor elitist. It is a simple fact. A "mobile home" is a "trailer". The terms are neutral, as used here.

The only folks who infer disrespect are those who believe that folks who live in mobile homes are somehow inferior to others.

Again, why belabor something that obviously offends someone else? Are good manners that far gone in this country?

What "disrespect"? There was none. Geesh!

Nope, it's classist. It's classist to actively avoid using destigmatizing language and defend problematic terms.

It's double whammy coupled with expecting the OP to be servile to some landlord with enough money for a car collection.

I want the OP to understand that the use of the word "trailer" is not derogatory.

sigh...

OP owns a home. The land it sits on is leased. IF his ll chooses to not renew the lease OP will have to move his house. It is a MOBLE HOME. If he were to try and get a mortgage on it, it would be listed as a trailer.

What ever you are "on" right now is not serving you well. Nowhere did anyone suggest or even imply that OP be "servile" to the LL.

It may not be in your eyes, or in mine, but it obviously offends the OP. It would be more gracious just to drop it.

I acknowledge your opinion.
