Trailers are an established form of affordable housing. They are small enough to be cheap, big enough to fit a family of several people (or housemates), and straightforward to move in case of environmental foreclosure. One main drawback, abusive landlords, is easily solved by placing the trailers on a lot owned by a community collective. This also creates an opportunity for government restitution to abused groups such as Native American or black communities, by giving them a patch of land for use as affordable housing. Another issue is their vulnerability to storms. Every trailer should have a storm porch, but the whole trailer park should have communal shelters capable of holding all souls on board plus an extra 10-20% for guests and refugees.

Today is sunny and mild.

I fed the birds.  Not much activity today, just a few doves and house finches.

We pulled some garbage out of the basement, which is now merely damp.  \o/ 

EDIT 5/30/21 -- I cleared 3 spots in the prairie garden.

EDIT 5/30/21 -- I planted the last of the white and mixed hollyhocks in the septic garden.  I planted the last of the pale purple and yellow coneflowers in the prairie garden, along with some purple asters.

EDIT 5/30/21 -- I planted 2 more spots of wildflowers in the prairie garden.

As it is now dark, I am done for the night.
