Was looking into moving my post-HUD-tag trailer to land I would actually own, and noticed that Butte apparently put in a rule about a decade ago that restricts Class C (late 1976 to late 1994) trailers massively, requiring them to be only in trailer parks.
What exactly are the options here? Is it possible to just shingle the roof (insulation's been upgraded and all windows are double-pane) and get it considered Class B? Would a lot the trailer's moved to just need tie-downs? Is there a way to get an exception?
I'm not exactly fond of the idea of continuing to rent a lot indefinitely for no reason (the trailer park provides no services, and the owning company is reluctant to do anything even when other residents yell threats while breaking the law, in fact it's a net negative with the bad road conditions).
On the extreme end...is Butte's exclusionary zoning practice on trailers even really legal? It seems utterly spiteful, in a frankly un-American way, to say that if you have a specific kind of home that was built with poor insulation that it has to be kept on land you don't own. I know the state legislature passed some zoning reforms recently to stop cities from zoning out almost all new development, but I'm not sure they covered this.
