In the eastern Coachella Valley, an agricultural region east of Palm Springs, the land is rich, but most of the people are not. Mobile home parks make up a significant amount of housing for the area's workers, and conditions vary widely. I went down to look into the closing of a notorious park, Duroville, but found it was the tip of the iceberg.
