Heh heh, bulls-eye!
I've been a landlord, and I've seen how trailer dwellers live. PRIORITIES. Or, rather, the lack of them.
You will see new/nice vehicles and expensive toys in front of clapped out trailers.
You will see said people in their new/nice vehicles, in- say, new leathers which I KNOW cost about $1000, at the grocery store using food stamps.
I've had renters who repeatedly failed to pay rent. It didn't escape my notice that they did have money for cell phones, cable tv, video games, smokes, pull-tabs, bingo, what had to be substantial liquor store and bar tabs, take-out food every day, etc.
After a very long, very generous grace period for rent delinquency I asked a gal if sitting outside somewhere with her cable tv sounded like a good idea? She absolutely couldn't believe it when the day finally came I booted her *** out.
