People are already in those houses. Plus you couldn't afford mobile home on minimum wage unless someone was paying every other expense in your life for probably 10 years.
??? I've lived in places where there are dirt-cheap trailers and people on minimum wage are living in them. Having said that, these people are largely being displaced today because these low-end trailer parks are being redeveloped for other (more profitable) uses, and because when a trailer park closes, other trailer parks won't accept the older trailers so they cannot be relocated.

How are you planning on adding/building old cheap trailers? The supply is finite.
Yes it should be a minimum living wage, therefore the minimum can be tied to local areas better. Living wage in NYC is different than New York state. If one is working a full time schedule, that income should be enough to keep them from needing government assistance as will, currently that is not the case and we have private companies paying employees too little and forcing them to seek government assistance.
Private companies can't force anyone on public assistance. Private companies can't force anyone to do anything.
Why do liberals always say we need to expand public welfare programs for the poor then ***** when the poor use them?
If people having to use public assistance is a burden we should eliminate all welfare. That would be motivation to not be poor.
That's because we have an oversupply of exclusionary zoning which prohibits trailer parks and placement.
I'm not sure where you live, but where I live we have no undeveloped land to actually out trailer parks, unless you figure out a way to get them to float in the ocean.
I'm not saying we shouldn't reduce regulation and stop the NIMBY's but lack of physical land in urban areas is what causes the high price of homes, not lack of trailer parks.
Does someone think they can change that by passing a law?
Minimum wage should be ZERO.
