Business model of mobile home parks exposes economic vulnerability of Colorado tenants who have nowhere else to go

(Kathryn Scott | The Colorado Sun)  Karla Lyons stands outside her mobile home at the Lamplighter Village in Federal Heights, Colo., on Aug. 30, 2019. Lyons' waitressing wages are eaten up by a constant stream of home and yard repairs ordered by her park manager, including removal of a giant maple tree that fell on her patio roof and crushed it. She would move if she could afford it.
