Gov. Josh Green said he would never allow the displaced Lahaina people to live in tents and trailers, which he has compared to refugee camps. I agree about the tents, but I don’t consider living in a trailer or mobile home comparable to living in a refugee camp.
Hawaii is the only state I have ever been in that has no parks for trailers or mobile homes. I bought a new trailer three years ago for $30,000 that I use every summer for three months and it is as comfortable as my condo. I believe the only reason we don’t have trailer parks in Hawaii is because of the construction unions. They’d rather build small houses for $75,000 or more than have trailers brought in. Trailers could certainly help our housing shortage at a low cost.
