The trailer park next door

Trailer parks have a certain connotation, a stigma. Yet all I could think about as I watched "them" slowly tear it down was, these were peoples homes. There were hammocks, lampposts, even a giant engraved address stone. Some people moved out early, others held on to the very end. The process has been gruesome, and sad. Slowly they have cleared out the debris, they have cut down the trees, and now they are building new homes- habitat for humanity homes.
kind of ironic really.

How disorienting irony is.

Will the former trailer residents live in the new Habitat for Humanity homes?
