This is becoming a national disgrace. Displaced mobile home owners deserve to be compensation for the loss of their property or compensation to help defray the cost of moving those that can be moved.
they've had cheap rent for years if not decades. Plenty of opportunity for them to work and save more. So many just make enough to 'get by.' They're happy with that, but one day something like this happens and they wish they had money saved up but they never bothered to lift a finger to better themselves. Oh well. Bye bye, they are out of there now.
@@vickiefinney6073 You simply lie. I've been there. They are moving now, glad the land will be used for education, for people who want to make a better life for themselves, not just for hoodlums that lay around, lazy, trashy and drunk.
@@mbords01 just like the property owner and the bank, agreement on the mortgage payment between the two and cheap or not, the borrower pays to the bank. Agreements kept.
@@TGWazoo1I agree with him because in other areas they would be compensated that’s their home your asking them to move you should work out some type of compensation
I'm so grateful I used my common sense and BOUGHT an acre of land back in the 90's to move my paid off trailer on. I have been rent free since then. There were just too many rules to abide by in the trailer park. No overnight guests, no working on your vehicles, kids couldn't ride their bikes in the park were just a few. I finally got fed up and took a drive in the country and found an acre of land which has been plenty for me. People are just giving money away when they rent. Buy instead.
That’s why I don’t recommend mobile homes and owners should own the land to avoid getting evicted. Unfortunately many mobile home parks are going through the same.
Basically the guy in the suit says tough sh** land is too valuable and no affordable housing built. That's just the way it is. There will be more and more working homeless and homeless elderly and no one seems to care. It's all about money, profit.
I know a guy and his wife who bought a moble home about 20 years or so ago. When they bought it they were also smart enough to buy the land it was on. A couple of years ago some developer wanted to build condo's on the moble home lot. From what I was told a lot of the people there were renting the homes along with the lot space or just the space alone. The developer's agent told they guy he and his wife had to leave, he said nope I don't I own this piece of land my moble home is on. The agent said he would be calling the police and have him removed, the guy said go right ahead and make sure to ask for Lt. whatever his name was ( I never give out real names ). After about a week and the help of a lawyer friend, the developer ended up traiding the moble home and the land for a 2/2 condo. It was a lot cheaper and faster than going to court. They also agreed in writing the monthy condo fees would be $95 and not a penny more for the next 25 years.
$0.00 for the trash. Those old homes contain asbestos, lead, and god knows what other hazards. They are basically junk that the new owner has to pay to dispose of.
Yeah they absolutely should at the bare minimum cover the cost of rehab and moving the older ones IMO. They also need to help them find a suitable place to move them. They are essentially are leaving these ppl homeless for condos they will probably sell for a million plus a pop. Kudos to KTVB for spotlighting this
This is disgusting, new laws should be created to close the loop holes allowing this to happen. Whether that old white man interviewed likes it or not affordable housing must occur...these people will end up homeless and costing more money in the long run. It always comes down to greed and money. I feel bad for all those evicted people.
@@theirmom4723 You apparently were drinking when you replied to my post as your comment makes no sense. I was commenting on laws being changed, as a small part of a complicated problem. If you don't know what you are talking about then don't...
That's not fair because they paid that property in FULL. And they own it. If they were going to change rules of the land, they should have disclosed that in the paperwork before allowing people to live there that the land is subject to change. Praying for those people who worked their whole lives.
They don't own the land, just the trailer. They just pay lot rent which is cheaper than renting a trailer owned by the park. Besides this, a lot of privately owned mobile home communities are being sold to larger businesses who don't care about the people and are jacking up the rent for owners and renters. Driving the poorest out that can't afford the fees anymore. The name of the game is profit above all else. It sucks, but that is what happens when politicians make tax breaks and deregulation job one over the health and wellbeing of the population.
Choosing to live in a mobile home has significant tax and cost saving benefit…but that’s because there are risks involved. Those risk are now coming to fruition and there is nobody to blame but the resident who accepted those risks.
That mayor is useless in the mayor's should get the funds and help these people move these trailers to some other or the mayor should lose his job and his authority. With no severance pay 🥰
Yep, or even the governor has the ability to request federal funding but if they ask you can bet these politicians will pocket the money. The govt only cares about generating money. Yep, unless these people can afford housing they will end up homeless - actually the plan -- turning the USA into a 3rd world county.
most trailer parks have hotel business license and they can evict you in 3 days. I've done it quite a few times when I manage my trailer Park. people that like to trash places can do a hell of a lot of damage in just one week. 3-day eviction is legal depending on your business license.
"They own the land, we own the trailers. The problem is the trailers aren't worth anything. So even if they receive "fair market" compensation, that's only pennies on the dollar. Buying a mobile home on rented land is foolish.
compensation for what? out of code, derelict trailers that can't be moved and will have to be torn down and scrapped? Why don't they bill them for the disposal costs? One place in Ohio charges $700 a month for a trailer park. Wow. That's a home mortgage payment and you own the land. People who live in trailers never wanted any responsibility. They paid for their trailer and they live in them until they completely fall apart. It's no ones fault these people never planned for their retirement or life outside a trailer park. They have to get out by September. Move on.....
Move these people out to the country side for free. I understand with all these multi million dollar properties going up, a run down trailer park might be an eyesore to the people around them. but the property was sold so what can you do?
I disagree with the last statement made; most mh owners buy because they do NOT want apartment living. That was certainly my case. I’ve always understood the risks of not owning the land under my feet. The problem with older mobile homes is that even very well-kept ones eventually won’t meet codes for transport, never mind the ones held together with spit and baling wire. MH park dwellers must never lose sight of the fact that they are renters; every park-situated mh purchase contract I’ve ever signed has spelled out in detail my rights/obligations as a renter and the park’s rights/obligations as a ‘landlord’. These folks needed to examine their paperwork months ago to decide on a plan.
Did one of them own a original gto I just saw that car that was so close to the trailer and they can’t afford to buy a new land too put there trailer on it
All Mobile parks are kicking out owners in these Owned properties. To move them cost $$$$. No one in these parks has $$$$, to move. The owners are selling out to development's. Look at Maui. Half burnt. Developers n realtors trying to sell burnt prorprties! They want that land! The owners are to poor but will not sell.
They knew this when they sign the contract, you bought a product it's going to quickly deteriorate in value, and you parked it at a rental place or you bought the product that's going to be already deteriorated value and it's parked at a rental place, at the time it makes sense for people to do that financially then every day that they live there they should be focused on where they're going to move because they know that this day is coming, people should learn from these stories go by land and by double-wide or single wide used and have it delivered and dropped off and you own the land and you own the house
Move your trailer to the mayor's backyard and bill the mayor seeing as though reasonably priced shelter cannot be built on land worth a million a acre. Yes temporary trailers can be housed there until the people can find permanent housing. They should be fully compensated for losing their housing because they are losing their housing due to no fault of their own. Do what Trump does, start suing and use the justice system to cause ceaseless delays until the tenants can get housing 🙏
When they bought the trailers and moved in they had no idea, some of them have been there 30 20-30years! They might have thought that would be a trailer park for the next 50years( just change owners of the park) and not be sold to someone that wants to level the place for development .
They've had cheap rent for decades, why didn't they work extra and save up for retirement and for an emergency? I was a hairdresser and worked 60 hours a week to buy a house and make investments and savings. What on earth have these people done with their time?
They all don't have cheap rent, honey. Plus some people are disabled or elderly. Wow, not every situation is so cut and dried. Unless you walk in their shoes.....
@@kmo3811 You lie. I've been to that park, the rent is cheap, almost all are young and middle aged people. You just make up excuses. Yes, they could have WORKED but instead drink, use drugs and smoke. I seen them so drunk there some were falling down. They can afford cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, why not save that expense up for an emergency fund? They brought the situations on to themselves. Oh well, out the go, prepared or not. bye bye.
Some folks just want to get by and live life as easy as 1 can rather than chase the dollar. 1 day your mind will change also and u will laugh on this moment
I if I had a driver License I would buy a RV and move into it so I don't have to worry about anything and I can have a pet with no charge and I would not be in the mess I am now because the apartments ager giving me a hard time
