Excerpt:

Francisco Guzman isn't allowed to leave anything in the tiny garden around his house. He can’t put rubbish out before collection day, or listen to music outside. 'Pets should not be over 13 inches [33cm] high. And if you want to host a friend, or even your brother or your mother, you have to ask the manager. They have to be registered, and he can say no. I mean... what the fuck, you know? It's my home!" Guzman and his wife own their home, a prefabricated house with three rooms (two of them bedrooms), but it stands on ground they rent at Friendly Village, a mobile home park in Aurora, Colorado.
