A colleague of mine from SF just retired to Guadalajara back in December because he was scared that “Donald Trump was about to roll tanks through the streets of SF” or some such nonsense.

I made the joke to my wife that, “if you’re worried about violence in the streets, Mexico is logical place to move.”

Welp, here we are.

We know you have many options when it comes to flying the friendly skies, and we would like to thank you choosing Dindu Nuffin Airlines today.

Absent any other context, props to that baw for simultaneously handling bidness but showing restraint.

I’ve lived next door to trailer parks and had several friends and family who lived in them. Here’s what I experienced:

1) Noise. Just constant sounds of dogs barking, people yelling, cars/trucks with loud subwoofers or busted mufflers, gun shots, kids playing outside - which is healthy and positive, but usually it’s your sort of “latch key kids” skipping school and riding bikes around shirtless and screaming at the top of their lungs.

2) Stuff. The amount of stuff everyone has surrounding their trailer is overwhelming because storage in trailers is limited and there are almost never garages or sheds for things. So you have shite just spilling out all around the radius of the trailer - 3 grills, a couple cars on cinder blocks, an old toilet or washing machine, tires, kids toys.

3) Transience. Most of the residents are there temporarily for one reason or another. Getting back on their feet, in town for a short term work project, newly divorced, cant hold down a job and bounce from place to place without ever paying rent. This creates almost no incentive for anyone to maintain anything or invest in keeping the property in good condition. It really doesn’t take long for a new mobile home park to fall into disrepair. Why bother landscaping if Cletus or Felontre is just going to park in the yard? Why keep the community area clean if Tammy or Quantisha are going to leave used needles laying around?

4) Nice Vehicles. Notwithstanding what I said above, it’s not uncommon to see a $70k truck and a new Harley parked out front of a dumpy trailer. Low impulse control, poor financial habits, lack of self discipline - chalk it up to whatever you want.

5) Roaming Packs of Animals. Pets and thugs alike.

There’s more of course, but the tl;dr is imagine any street in Baton Rouge named after a President or Indian tribe and you’re not far off.

Thought this story was going to involve a couple of figs who own pitbulls. Could have been a potentially epic OT thread.

This was happening at LSU Law when I was there circa 2011-2014.

First semester in my section? Maybe 2 or 3 kids got an exception to take their test in a separate room for 2x the time due to “ADD” or some such nonsense.

Second semester? Easily 25-30 kids had miraculously obtained whatever doctor’s note was required to get the same special treatment.

It’s a total farce.
