That's my bad; you said you can't break even or make a profit from them, so I read that tone is being dismissive/derisive of them. (the joy of text /s)
I'm 100% with you on parks- I lived in one growing up and despite the bad rep they have, neighbors took care of each other, and the guy who owned the land lived there right alongside us and always helped out with repairs, even if he didn't own the house or even car that needed it.
Then again, that's kinda how it is in highly rural areas when you get parks and little communities like that. You're a 45 minute drive to the nearest school, an hour away from a hospital, and even the nearest gas station is a ten minute drive.
When you're that far out in the sticks and you live in a neighborhood like that, you rely on each other. I miss that shit. (I'm now in the suburb of a major city and I don't even know my neighbor's names.)
