I would imagine that in many cases, these trailers have been in place for years, and have lost their ability to actually be moved without falling apart.
Even the trailers that can be moved need a home, and as far as I know, there aren't many mobile trailer parks around Calgary; even if there are a few, I would imagine they don't have the ability to absorb more than a few trailers at best.
Perhaps the city should be looking at a different piece of land to offer up for use as a trailer park.
I don't know. Like I said originally, I haven't looked into the story closely.
