Well, we need to have elected leaders who have the courage to take on these companies head on. My very first year in the Iowa legislature in 2019, Big corporations came into Iowa, started buying mobile home communities and trailer parks and jacking up the monthly lot rent by outrageous amounts. including right here in Polk county and Dallas County. 50%, 60%, 70%. This one company from Utah bought three different trailer parks in my district, proposing massive increases. (47:51–47:59)
