Wisconsin is another one. The border towns still within driving range of Chicago are absolutely booming. Most are moving because they can't stand the high taxes of IL. I'd say it's a 50/50 split of R's and D's moving out, but it's skewing the overall ratio in WI to D's and really makes no impact on IL since it's so blue. At least Cook county.
So Wisconsin has been kind of purple, but I think it may swing to the consistent blue column over the next decade due to limousine liberals moving up there from IL. Madison and Milwaukee also have a lot of blue power too. Most of the state is redneck red though. And most the state is rural. There's just not enough of them to counter 200 home subdivisions at the border being filled with blue voters.
Sad really. Basically 2 WI cities dictate national elections and state wide elections. Cities are ass hoes.
Yes, they will have the numbers to change local and statewide elections. Example - Virginia and Georgia. Next, North Carolina.

Find me an example of this, because I'm stumped. Have yet to see a blue state flip red due to out migration.
But they will be draining liberal votes from their own states.

I can't think of one. IL is not going red anytime soon, but they're heading into Wisconsin in droves and IL will stay blue because Chicago's large black and hispanic population. Much of the hispanic population is illegal as well.
I worked in housing for about 13 or so years and I'd guess that 80-90% of all hispanic laborers were all illegal. Might not be as high now as some younger guys born here from an illegal, might actually be naturalized citizens having been born here. ICE could walk up to any Chicago construction site and for sure hit 50% of Mexicans as illegal. No one wants to do anything about it. Chicago also has a huge Puerto Rican population (Humbolt Park) and you have to be careful accusing a light brown person of being a citizen or illegal as people from PR are citizens.
2nd biggest retail corridor in Chicago is Little Village on the Southwest side. 26th St is 2nd to the Magnificent mile (Michigan Ave) as far as retail goes. 90%+ hispanic Mexican and likely 1/4-1/2 illegal. That's why Chicago allows it. Huge revenue generator so they turn a blind eye to it. All about money and politics.

Nothing worse than being a Florida obstetrician giving birth to babies covered with swamp dirt clods:

I just don't get it.
Your Mobile Home is going to run on average maybe $50k, that's an average of decent new ones vs. older ones.
So you're looking at around $500/month financing. Then you pay lot rent of $700-800. Total of $1300, say.
Plus you still have to do maintenance of mobile homes, they get roof leaks and window leaks and clogged vents like any house.
For $1300 you can rent a 2-bedroom house/apt in most parts of the country where trailer parks are to be found, like Northern Florida. Or pay the mortgage on an older but decent house, and not only own the house but the underlying property, eventually. With "Lot Rent" you only own the depreciating mobile home asset.
Hell, for $1300 you can finance both the underlying piece of land AND the mobile home in most rural/outer suburban areas where most trailer parks are located anyway.
