That's all I know.
Sounds like a great idea. A large infusion (even bigger than 30-40) of new homes (that would sell fast) would prove to the other owners that it is worth it to invest in renovating or rebuilding their old, decaying mobiles. It would bring up all the property values if many would get replaced with a new home.
