No, because the concept really didn't exist back when this park (and pretty much all trailer parks) was built.
Part of the reason we even HAVE the concept of needing to build affordable housing is that we've slowly choked off things like this, with very little complaint from the public. But anyone who doesn't see that trailer parks are affordable housing hasn't done much real estate shopping in their lives. By some measures they're the most affordable housing in existence. Seriously, not that many years ago you could buy one for under $50,000 - find me ANYTHING within 50km of Calgary for that cheap. Unless the rent is $10,000/month on the land, they blow the pants of any condo/townhouse/whatever "official" affordable housing the City is constructing.
