This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "Do you think mobile homes should only be allowed in mobile home parks in Cape Girardeau?"
Doris Dohogne, Cape Girardeau
"Right ... Now that's different from modular homes. I think they belong in a park."
Mike Meyer, Cape Girardeau
"No. I figure if you own property you should be able to put whatever you want on it."
Charles Taylor, Morley
"I think they've got a right to put them anywhere they want to as long as they meet the standards of the city."
Steve Ullman, Cape Girardeau
"It would be an eyesore ... I mean that's where they belong (in parks). I mean you keep pets fenced in. You keep things where they belong. You keep your apples with your apples and your oranges with your oranges."
Gene McCalister, Cape Girardeau
"A regular trailer should only be in a mobile home park, but these double-wides, I think, they could put them any place."
