The term “mobile home” is somewhat misleading. Mobile homes are largely
       immobile as a practical matter, because the cost of moving one is often a
       significant fraction of the value of the mobile home itself. They are generally
       placed permanently in parks; once in place, only about 1 in every 100 mobile
       homes is ever moved. A mobile home owner typically rents a plot of land,
       called a “pad,” from the owner of a mobile home park. The park owner
       provides private roads within the park, common facilities such as washing
       machines or a swimming pool, and often utilities. The mobile home owner
       often invests in site-specific improvements such as a driveway, steps,
       walkways, porches, or landscaping. When the mobile home owner wishes to
       move, the mobile home is usually sold in place, and the purchaser continues
       to rent the pad on which the mobile home is located.
