1 1 Disadvantages of mobile home courts: 1. They do not provide enough tax base to support the children they place in the schools. 2. They require the construction of sewer and water systems. 3. The trailers depreciate quickly, providing less and less tax income. 4. The trailer construction is poor; its lifetime is short. 5. The larger trailers are adding more children to the schools. 6. They often fall into disrepair. 7. They may influence the political life of a municipality without paying for services they get. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that allowing any additional mobile home parks in Lino Lakes would jeopardize our school districts as well as the overall tax structure; there can be no trailer parks until there is municipal sewer and water. The Engineer and Planner both felt that mobile home courts could be limited effectively by strict regulations; that outlawing of mobile home parks could cause serious repercussions and might prove unconstitutional.
