Gentrification of trailor parks and elderly apartment complexes seems to be the latest rage among speculative real-estate investors. The interesting thing here in Florida is how this wave of speculation proceeds gradually, so that you might read of, say, one trailer park and one elderly retirement rental complex a year in any given region that was sold out from under its now displaced residents. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say that the timing is deliberate to avoid alarming the elderly, who might otherwise organize and resist this trend. There is an article on this subject, with information about how the ownership of trailer parks, for instance, has been shifted to speculators, at the following URL: <http://www.hcn.org> . This is the site of an internet newspaper called the `High Country News', named for its location in the Rockey Mountains.
