If the purchase and set up costs could be fully offset by selling the current land and increasing rent at the new park, then that would be fine. But the city would be in the same spot, facing demands for money to pay for things they don't need to cover (moving fees and covering costs of dilapidated trailers that can't be moved).
The city should just make a clean break from the trailer park game after this, if there is demand and it is worth it, the private sector will be setting up parks.
