I'm not talking about RVs/trailers/campers - I'm talking about housing that 
is built in 2 or 3 pieces, trucked to a "mobile home park", and then 
mounted fairly permanently to the ground. Once placed, they are rarely ever 
moved again. It's like a condo complex, in that the tenants own the 
dwelling and pay rent for the land and common areas.

Yes - these are getting somewhat popular in new redeveloped urban centers 
here. The most common case is ground-floor retail with apartments or condos 
above. Seems like these should be drawn as residential buildings and then 
add POIs for the shops.
