A Bohemian Student Enclave: A Trailer Park
Eighty trailers serve as "a bastion of individuality and creativity" on a corner of the UC Irvine campus. They are scheduled for demolition.
"Tucked into a corner of UC Irvine, all but unnoticeable to anyone driving by, is a trailer park. Not a mobile home park with double-wides as big as houses. Trailers. Eighty of them, sold from student to student for the last three decades for as much as $12,000... Irvine Meadows on the UCI campus offers cheap, funky housing for students, but it's scheduled to be demolished in a year."
