- Mobile home park residents are facing mass evictions as investors buy up their parks across the U.S. These individuals in Phoneix own their mobile homes but could still be forced to abandon them for little to no compensation. In many cases, there are no affordable housing options left and many residents fear being forced into homelessness.

Welcome to America. The Freedom to be homeless & starving 🇺🇲
Land of injustice and terror
This is the wonderful democracy for you, the same democratic government of the USA who is busily spending billions of taxpayers monies, yearly, to wage war on other countries to change from communism, billions more on the '''war on drugs'' yet cannot build low income housing for the working poor
Get a job and buy a real home
@@derrickraccoon7370-- I lived in Jamaica for a number of years, they have a wonderful system dating from 1976. Every working adult pays 2% of gross salary, into the National Housing Trust. The government matches this by 3%. This 5% is used to build Low Income Housing for poor people. If you are not eligible for a house, being you have one already, then you start receiving your refund annually, with interest, after 10 years. In Jamaica, no homelessness. The Trust started with less than 1 million employees. Census is now almost 4 million. Additionally, they offer Build on Your Own Land, Home Improvement Loans, Starter Homes for the very poor, who are given a box-like structure, to complete as they can afford. This is easily done, as many better off people put doors, sinks windows etc., when renovating. A down payment is made, then monthly mortgage in relation to their salary. Just think what over 200 million employed US citizens could accomplish, with a system like this.
@@derrickraccoon7370 Get shot and go bankrupt in medical fees
As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
@@MarkFreeman-xi3rk Could you kindly leave your investment advisor's contact information here? I absolutely must have one.
I thoroughly recommend Margaret Johnson Arndt, an investment advisor who is subject to US SEC regulation. She has assisted me with my portfolio for many years. Look her up online; she's a well-known figure.
thanks for sharing this, I googled the lady you mentioned and after going through her resume, I can tell she's a pro. I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply
83 years old and he's being pushed out his home?? God please help us seniors 😨😢😥😥
I agree but our government would rather fund a war and pay down student loans than build affordable housing.
Is God to serve us or maybe such unrespectful attitude towards Him is the very reason of our problems here?
Where are his kids or nieces and nephews ? Where is his family ? My dad lives with me half of the year and lives with my brother the other half.
@@sanatsevajayWell the many of the wealthy better watch out then.
He can take his home with him
Corporations should not have their hands in Residential housing! This will eventually concern us all!
I tell everyone that wants to buy a Mobile home NEVER BUY one from a mobile home park. Instead find a piece land then but your mobile home . This so sad.
so sad it should be illegal
Exactly. Own not just the home but the land as well.
It's illegal in many states to put a trailer on a house lot/ private piece of land.
Find a piece of land?, you’ll have to buy it off someone.
🎯 I TOTALLY Agree‼️
I Wish Them All The Best 🙏🏿
The old man really broke my heart he realllt got me crying over here
I hope he talks to Social Services about low cost senior housing. Its a sad story.☹️
The waiting list is very long for senior housing. Also not cheap they charge you on how much you get from social security.Every year they raise your rent.
Same here😔😪
@@linhaton4957 there are not enough
It’s straight up wrong. 😢
It’s sad, but “owning” a mobile home isn’t real ownership.. if you don’t own the land, you essentially own a useless box.
I don’t know why these communities don’t ban together open up a non profit society or corporation and purchase their own park so that each tenant has a equal owners share ownership. Using already due pad rents. Get a legal contract made with reasonable terms. Sometimes lower income families have tendency to be hoarders and that can attract rats to the park . They have to maintain rules like that and the committee would ban together . The able bodied residents would me responsible for grounds and such to keep cost down. I’ve seen some tiny home parks that operate like that on Church donated land . They own the tiny home and the park self manages. I’ve seen this done with a mill where the threat of sale the crew got together and bought out the company and any new hires pay into shares of the company in payments I think only one year.
When a tenant feels more ownership than owners tend to have a different outlook on how they feel about where they live and conditions actually improve over time. Ideally you would go for the not for profit trustee over corporate because of the property tax advantages for non profit. They take time to establish so I have to do my research to see if you could transfer a Corp to non profit society? I know you can incorporate a non profit but not sure if you can take a corporation to non profit society? Need property lawyers on that one .
You live in America, speak the language
Same with a condo!
It is very inhumane and sad to treat people like that. 😔 😟 😢
Australia’s got the finest care, but not in the USA
when the old man cried it really hit home i know exactly how he feels
Me too I'm in between landlord keeps telling me I need to vacate and truth I'm scared it's getting worse out here I pray Noone has to ho through this BS
@@Dachozan1 why is he telling you to vacate.
@@angieangiel2666 because rent is unaffordable duh
I feel especially sorry for the seniors. Younger people can bounce back from things but seniors can't. This man broke my heart ❤️. At his age what can he do
He's the only one my heart goes out to. Hopefully, he will get placed in senior housing. The rest of these people I have no empathy for.
@@roshelltannen9698 why if you don't mind me asking
@Miss F I don't empathize with perpetual victims. These women have had decades to develop a skill set. Instead, they chose to become generational Baby Mama's/Baby Grandmamas. They have the nerve to want a corporation to care about their kids, but not the father(s)? In addition to cheap lot rent, I'm quite sure these people have got welfare (or social security) for most, if not all, of their/their kids' lives. How much more do they think they're entitled to? 2nd Latino/as like this get on my nerves. The SW of the US doesn't belong to Mexico. English is this country's first language. Documents issued by a private company shouldn't have to be in Spanish to appease people that are lazy/unpatriotic to at least speak this lands language. 3rd. I don't like manipulative "parents." Just because you have kids it's not societies, job to take care of them. Having her overweight son speak on their behalf is wrong. Kids have no business in adult business. These women are used to using their kids as pawns to get what they want. I'm a 1980 girl, and as time marches on, people like me could care less about single mothers with kids. A lot of these women have r*ped the system long enough. That's why.
@@roshelltannen9698 actually you are 100 percent right. I was brought up poor and i was born in the 50s.. My mother did her best, my father was a drunk. We were catholic and no one ever divorced in our family. . I wanted kids but I knew that I couldn't give them a financially stable home. I wanted alot better than what I had for my kids. So I it ended up I didn't have any. I saw my mum work in a factory standing on hrr feet with swollen aching legs and feet trying to keep our home and food on the table. She took in borders. We where never on welfare. Back then it was really embarrassing. And I wasn't bringing kids up on welfare or seeing me always stressed for money. So I absolutely agree 100 percent with what you are saying
@@roshelltannen9698 thank you for answering me
My son and I, along with my neighbors, are going through this right now. It's scary not knowing where we are going to end up. My neighbors have homes they can go to as their trailers are camps. But my son and I, this is our home, we have nowhere to go and I cannot not afford to rent an apartment. Very stressful and sad. I wish these people and all in this situation the best of luck.
Are you not able to have the trailer moved onto another piece of land or trailer park? Is there no others in the area or a piece of land to rent? In honesty I'm unaware of how things work in the US. In the UK land is at a premium and expensive, but there are still a number of fairly decently priced caravan parks that offer plots where you can live on. Although in some US States land is fairly cheap but I'm guessing in the better areas, its getting harder to find a trailer park as land gets snapped up by developers and going to another state could be hundreds of miles from where your friends or job is! Plus with a static home, you just can't pitch up and move, so need a lorry, which can costs thousands in transferring it onto another site. Anyway hope you find a solution to you and your son's housing issues.
Buy some land somewhere and then get a newer trailer yes you’ll have to struggle for a few years But during the struggle you’re going to know that you’re home and they can’t take it away from you nobody can once you own that trailer and that land you sitting on that is yours
Absolutely heartbreaking and this is why families are sharing their homes with their loved ones. I’m praying 🙏🏻
My parents live on my property. Before covid we bought a large shed and converted it to an apartment. Thank goodness it was Before the covid pandemic
I've always thought there was something fundamentally wrong with the way trailer parks are set up. Why "buy" the trailer if the actual owner of the land sets the terms of your land rental and that can change at any time? it makes no sense at all to "buy" a trailer unless you also OWN the land it's sitting on. I looked into buying one when I was 20 years old and quickly realized living in a trailer park was a seriously bad idea. Buy a minivan or RV, then rent a space to park it. The ability to leave at any time gives you way more leverage with the land owner.
Tooo Right! here in OZ we call RV's "Moterhomes", in Sydney NSW where I allso lived in my Moterhome on the streets, amazing the amount of people doing the same, don't notice that untill one lives in one, good life, like gypsy's we'd look after each other's back, one get's to know others, become friends and bonus, any money comes your way, goes into your own pocket, not some greedy A-hole's pocket, like yourself, I see those type of dwellings advertised but wouldn't buy one in a fit.
Most trailer homes can be moved it just cost $5,000 to do so.
@@Codi892 My beat up ol' moterhome which I curse the day I got rid of it, was AUD $ 1,400 good ol' van built tough! heavy on fuel but one could live in it and in a strong squally wind, just turn her tail into the wind and she'll just rock you to sleep.
I sort of feel the same way, living in a house. My home is paid off, but, if I do not pay taxes, I lose my house. But, I agree with what you say. I realized that when my found someone giving away a mobile home and took it... then... one thing after another, she finally gave it away too.
dont buy a trailer park on land that isnt yours. pretty easy unless you dont understand the consequences. educate your self. other wise go ahead buy a trailer in a trailer park.
To call someone trash or undesirable just because they live a certain way is probably one of the most inhumane things you can do. No human is trash just because they're poor.
@Levi the way they live is nasty but that still doesn't make them trash. How are you middle class amd have an elitist mindset? That doesn't add up.
With the exception of the 83 year old, these people are trash.
I beg to differ. The wealthy people who use loopholes to destroy and steal from the most vulnerable is what is trash.
They are poor due to life choice: Having kids at a young age without good income. Being a “single” mom on welfare, etc, etc. Not saving for their future. How many of them are on welfare, WIC, Medicaid??
@@aydinl5757OH SO PEOPLE MADE A POOR LIFE CHOICE IF THEIR SPOUSE WALKS OUT ON THEM OR CHEATS ON THEM AFTER 12 YRS..and then abuses them when found out...and the other place you can afford without being homeless is a mobile home....after 12 YEARS OF MARRIAGE...it was a poor life choice for being married that long...and he damages you beyond repair after 12 years... THAT'S NOT THE WIFE WHO IS ABUSED AND NEGLECTED FAULT
My mom got very lucky in the same situation, because her property was bought out by the port of Seattle in 2007. They paid her replacement cost, and for moving costs and other expenses. She paid 27,000 for her 1982 double wide, and the port paid her over 80,000. We moved down to Portland. We did buy another manufactured home, but much newer, a 1998 double wide on its own lot/property. Mom put 1/2 the cost down, and consequently, the mortgage is just a little over 700.00. My mom passed in 2014, and I am eternally grateful to her for leaving me my lovely home. I live here with my son, who is 38, and autistic. I will leave the house to him, by then it will be paid off. As I said, I'm so grateful.
Our family is in a 2 bed 2 bath mobile home. Our landlords are honest people and they’ve owned the properties for years. Our home was built in 2017 so it’s newer, and the rent is very affordable. This is my worst nightmare 😢 Praying heavy for all these people affected!! It’s awful.
Save up and buy some land. Only advice I can give you.
Save money because if anything happens to your landlords you will be moving too.
Buy a lot/ some land and move while you can, your landlord may be nice, but will not live forever. At that point, things will change.
Don’t wait for the unexpected moment to make yours life miserable I’m sure that they are going to live forever and maybe they family would sell their house and then we’re you going to go I don’t know about how it works but I’m definitely going to start saving money for emergencies like that because I don’t ever want to wake up to a nightmare in action anything that could happen
ugh and now im in tears. only those who have experienced the uncertainty of not knowing where you are gonna go with your kids knows how heartbreaking this is. may GOD see us all through these situations.
This the real Ms Krazie?
I understand the instinct to tell your patients to try not to stress but it also make very little sense. Stress has got to be one of the hardest things to control.
Especially when your 83 and losing your mobile home.
And that doctor surely has the money to help at least a few of his patients but Most likely won’t!

I wonder how much developers gave in "campaign contributions" to City Council?
This happened to my son who is disabled, he lived in Pocatello Idaho, he owned his mobile home and still got kicked out, he is now homeless! And on social security for his disability!
I live in a cooperative resident-owned community (ROC) in New Hampshire. Since 2010, the lot rent has gone down twice and has stayed steady at $365 a month for over a decade. No one is making a profit on that lot rent and everyone in the park has access to the financials that document how the lot rents are spent (taxes on the land, the water and sewer, trash pick up, road maintenance, etc.). I own my home and I own 1/100th of the entire park. New Hampshire developed the ROC model and the state helped out with the financing and guidance the residents needed to take the park from privately owned to resident-owned. The majority of parks in NH are now ROCs. No story on manufactured housing parks is complete without noting how successful NH has been in keeping this form of affordable housing truly affordable and its ownership stable.
Great info & reply ! Thank you
New Hampshire is such a beautiful state. Very interesting!
The problem with this video as they stated is they want all the rentals out of the city center, it is prime real estate and they will buy it one way or another, sad to say these people are wasting their time, the big money can wait them out and just keep raising rent.
@@chrisfry436 True. If they had a heart, they could easily relocate the tenants and still make profits
I'm from Connecticut, a fellow New Englander. That's because New England is smart. Very smart.
It appears our homeless issue is manufactured if people are being evicted from their homes by corporations without a plan to relocate the evicted 😪
Why should landowners make a plan to "relocate the evicted" if the people were only renting the land? They aren't their nannies.

This is exactly what I’m going through in Concord NC. I literally stay with my mom down the street but I own my home and the park owns the land that I lease they evicted me off the land but I can’t access the home. I have 3 small kids and this was the most hurtful thing in Oct.11th last year. I cried off this because I know exactly how this feels and I’m still dealing with it. They also leave you in a limbo even if you’re paying your mortgage. It’s like doomed if you don’t doomed if you do. This is gut wrenching still. I took this personal. Thank God for my mom and husband being able to go back and forth between hotels and here. I’m greatful
You still live with your mom with 3 kids? Where's your husband? You NC chicks are big on God/prayer, why don't you have a husband to help you? And please stop saying literally to empathize your point. You're using that word wrong. Y'all use Kardashian talk and wonder why your struggling in life.
GET A long long board and run it to your MH from you nearest neighbor and move your things out that way, don't put your feet on that lot. However, I think it is illegal to not let you into your home, to at least get your belongings especially if you have minor children, you really should talk to a Lawyer
Don't trust man👺👺👺
I lived in a mobile home park with my paid off trailer for a few years. The thought always stayed in my mind that I was giving away money that I could be using to buy my own property. The owner of the park started getting stricker and sticker with us tenants. Like we were not allowed to have overnight guests. If a family member came from out of town to visit they couldn't stay overnight. They had to get a hotel room. My kids couldn't ride their bikes in the trailer park. They had to push them to the entrance and then ride from there. I couldn't work on my vehicle in the trailer park. The water pressure was horrible. At times the shower would only trickle water out. I understood the reasons behind his rules in place but eventually said why am I tolerating rules when I could be free of them 🤔. So I set out on a mission and took a ride outside of the city limits. I came across a lot that had no "for sale" sign up. I asked the neighbors who owned it. They didn't know because no one had lived on it since they had all been there. I went to the courthouse to see if I could find out who owned the lot. It belonged to the deceased father of a local judge. I went to talk to the judge. He and his siblings had forgotten about the one acre of land. As we talked he told us that we seemed like a good family and would like us to have it. Next thing I knew he was putting together the paperwork and sold me the acre for $2,500.00. It had no water meter. That cost me $500 to have installed. It had no electric pole. The neighbor gave me a spare one that he wasn't using. He was a hoarder 😂. So I got the electric pole up and the electric company connected to it. There was no septic tank. That cost me $1,600 to have one put it. I had some crushed rock road base brought in and put down for my driveway. That cost me $600. So for a total cost of $5,200 I had my own property that I could do as I pleased. I made this purchase at the age of 31 years old. I'm 61 now and haven't had to pay rent in 30 years. 😂. I have no idea what an acre of land like mine cost today and I so grateful I found my property at a young age. During the COVID-19 crisis I didn't have to worry about being evicted or the rent piling up.
You are a lucky and smart man.
Just smart. Smart people make their own luck.
Congratulations, you've done well!
Did you get title insurance?
Very smart move 😊

@@virgilhilts3924 they kinda can’t if they don’t have the money. That’s like saying the solution to homelessness is to just get a house.
Bad news: you can “own” a paid off, traditional-build home and be evicted for as little as a few thousand dollars of delinquent property taxes.
Let me tell you about a very small Island in the Caribbean, called Jamaica. I lived there for over 15 years, and worked in the accounts dept., The country has a scheme called the National Housing Trust, started in 1976. Deductions of 2% of gross salary are made from every adult employee, which is matched by 3% by the government. This sum of 5% is used to build thousands of homes for the poor annually. If you are not eligible for a home, because you already own one, you start receiving your refund with interest yearly, after 10 years. A very good scheme
I had a doctor tell me that, I said easy for you, to say, you ain't going through it.
@@jannettsnow You have lost me here Jannett, what did the doctor tell you?
I have lived 6 months of every year for the last 15 years in Jamaica. Never heard of a homeowner being evicted for non payment of property taxes. The area where I live, is in front of the harbor. Many, many of my neighbors have not paid their property taxes for years. The tax amount for the house I live in is $12,500 JA, I guess, a little over US $100 every April. The government seems very lenient where property taxes are concerned, never even heard of a threat on the news
@@deidradahl2802 omg that sounds like such a wonderful plan...america would never stand for helping someone like that sadly
Yup. My friend was evicted from her trailer and it couldn't be moved because of the age so she became homeless.😢
We've been there, done that. We got forced out of our house from a person from California that bought the property. And we live in Idaho. We were forced to move because we couldn't afford to move our home which we had paid for years before. So we lost pretty much everything.
This hurts to see. Whenever you believe that things are going bad in your life stop and remember that someone else has it even worse.

Maybe it’s not so bad to go live in another country. The U.S.A. Just isn’t it. This is crazy these people’s or human beings. No compassion for these people, this is the world we live in. SMDH
Maybe Canada or Mexico?
Agree! If you have the means, go check out other countries, you may be surprised.
Sadly you may be right. They actually regulate rents and so forth. Homelessness is increasing among the elderly due to their limited incomes and rising rents. Rents going up by $500. And more and more landlords are refusing Section 8 vouchers. Sad state of affairs in this country.
I'm not sure about Mexico, but the rents are much worse in Canada.
Most countries dont allow ex-pats to buy property but you can certainly rent!

The trailers are pretty much worthless. When you buy them without owning the land, you pretty much are setting yourself up for a bad situation. This is very misleading making it seem like these people are "home owners" when they are not. If you have to rent the land, you don't really own anything.
I have never lived in a mobile home but I stayed in a apartment that was ran by slumlords. I lived there for 5 years. I was evicted and I 100% know how these people feel. It breaks my heart.

Did you just say? Dubai awful 😖 shameful at this government that allows take over of America by outsiders just blows my mind. It's scary 😨 and disgusting
Government has no business in a contract between a landlord and a tenant. Is a business Iike any other. Look wha happened when they got involved, completely screwed landlords by forcing them to run their business without compensation. No other business had to. They all shut down. Meanwhile, landlords HAD to keep paying taxes, ins, upkeep and somehow rework mortgages while renters got off without paying a dime. Was that fair? No.

They knew that when they bought their mobile homes. Mobile homes are only a good investment WHEN YOU OWN THE LAND.

But they can do that too with regular renters and even house owners if their governing body believes it’s land necessary for the greater good … like a highway. No one is safe in a capitalist society.
Also, land can be considered useless in places like Flint, Michigan where the governing bodies actually poisoned the water. Who wants to buy that land?
This situation is the “canary in the coal mine,” meaning, no matter how SAFE you thought you were … they may be coming for you next. No job, property or ANYTHING or ANYONE is safe or can feel safe in a capitalist system.

No one ever really owns their home they can be paid for but if you don’t pay the taxes or the space rent or something else that is associated with that particular structure you’ll find out who really owns it it’s not you!
Yes but paying a couple of thousand dollars in taxes yearly is better than paying a few thousand dollars of rent monthly.
The three neighbors should all Rent one huge house and spilt the rent by three ways. God bless everyone that is struggling. I once was homeless at 14 years old and abandoned....it was the worst things I've experienced.
Better yet, they should all buy a piece of land with water, electric and sewer and move thier homes there.
Hugs
Yall say it like Land is cost 3 dollars or even buying a house.this people are stressing because there's no money
No,left homeless 50+ years and abandoned is the worst thing to experience young one.
The situation is way more complicated than that, and we already have huge houses full of people paying rent. They're called ghettos and we have enough of those.
I personally rather live in a nice quiet trailer park community than a ghetto any day.
@@Noyojo001 where there’s a will, there’s a way. Have faith, pray for guidance. Perhaps sell the home, live with other family, or buy a used van.
It's all about Greed.
It's about people popping up kids where they can't afford it!
@@ChatBloom Wow. I can't believe you made that comment. Sooo, you saw this whole video and that's all you got out of it? That they shouldn't have had kids? So, I guess in your mind, what is being done to these people is right? You don't see anything wrong with it? I guess you don't see anything relating to greed and selfishness in this story do you? I hope you are never in a position where something happens to you and you have no place to go, or live, because I don't wish this situation on anyone...not anyone. Everyone deserves a roof over their head, ...especially if they've already worked for years and completely PAID for it.
So what? These people are greedy. I'm sure all those Baby Mama's have been welfare the whole of their kids' lives. Not only are these people greedy, but they're selfish and unpatriotic. The US has given these people enough, and they won't even speak English.
@@ChatBloom most of these ppl are elderly, kids grown up or have no kids at all or middle aged with no kids , don’t blame others actions on them , even if they “pop out kids they can’t afford” they own the house and pay the lot , mobile homes are cheaper investments for families who can’t afford homes with the increasing housing market across the most populated states in the U.S , yes it is greed , land of the free all right where you get ridiculed for owning a house when poor
I wonder why people think that mobile home park could never go away.
I've been looking to relocate but if i get a mobile home I will definitely need to own the land. Sad there are so many greedy people that don't care about all the hardships they inflict on others.

NYC has co-ops that are built on leased land. The lease is usually for 99 years and it’s a fixed amount. When you buy into a unit, you know how long is left on the lease, and what the amount is.
Mobile homes need to follow that model, with say 30 year land leases. Month to month or yearly leases are ridiculous for houses.
I'm so sad for these families.
After watching, I feel less alone in this fight, but breaks my heart to see how deep this goes across our country. This is absolutely appalling. I have yet to be able to understand how and why the majority of our country has been marginalized… nor can I truly express how disgusted and disheartened I am with this economic situation.
What does that even mean...?
This exact situation happened to me in st Petersburg Florida...
I bought a mobile when I 1st moved here in 2016. I paid cash for it, it was a 55+ development... developers bought the land & we had 6 months to lose it. In 2019 right before covid. It would have cost double to move it they wanted to cut my home in half without any insurance on how it got to the next location.
It's been 3.5 years & I am still mentally going through it over the situation just as much as a financial burden since now rents are 4x what my rent for the lot was.
Nowadays there are 'investors' who will buy the park land for the residents and the residents form a coop to own the land and pay back the investors. It's a great thing and has been implemented all over the country.
@@sandrabentley8111 that's a great thing.
At that time I knocked on every one of my neighbors doors to do a class action law suit to at least buy us some time or funds, not 1 person wanted to be involved. For the developers it's a easy win win. Elders & low income 😪
I was ready to fight for mine but I am not 75 or 85 yrs old either... I don't think I would at that age myself... so that's who they prey on
Sorry Jerry. The government has loans the investment companies can use to buy the parks, but doesn't loan when groups of owners want to own their park.
@sandrabentley8111 great thing? If the owners have first rights to bid on it and if they can afford to outbid the investor. Do you live in a mobile home park?
I'm so sorry.
Heartbreaking 😭
Our family of 5 is going through this right now. We have Owned our trailer in a Sun Communities Inc park in Rehoboth Beach for 10 years and now people with older trailers are being forced out so they can bring in new ones they are selling for $140k at a rate of about 4/month and we were just told our lease won’t be renewed in April
There by the grace of God go I, I was buying a home like this in TX and was laid off and lost it. It would have been a bigger struggle if I was still there with my children. 😢 Praying for all being affected by such greed.
“it is hard to argue that housing is not a fundamental human need. Decent, affordable housing should be a basic right for everybody in this country. The reason is simple: without stable shelter, everything else falls apart.”― Matthew Desmond

The residents should have the first right to purchase the land then workout some type of cooperative agreement, like an HOA or whatever. If WallStreet purchases the land and builds high end apartments or condos then the city of Phoenix is going to collect a ton of property taxes for the next 40+ years. The new owner and the city of Phoenix should help with far more funding to help people move people than just $7500.
The reason why prices go up is because the government is allowing property owners to raise the prices with no rules or stipulations and they get greedy with no cap on rent numbers. This has to stop .
Disheartening, This world gets worse by the day...May God help us...
I feel sorry and sad for the people going through all this hard ship.... I pray they find a place to live!!!
Answer your faux prayer and invite one to come live with you,
Prayers do nothing. Bayonets can be used for everything except as furniture
They should come to Peoria, IL. My whole mortgage for a 1300 square foot house is like $560 a month. (That's after fee's, taxes and insurance.) It's not a "nice house" but it's certainly nicer than a trailer (I've been in a few).
(We have a number of large and small trailer parks in this area too, if you're interested.)
Peoria's underrated.
Are these static caravans not able to be moved onto another site? Are there no other sites available around that State? Ok, im guessing, even if there were other available places to resite the static homes, as they require a lorry to move, which costs thousands, them i totally understand their dilemma. I live in the UK in a double axle caravan, but that can be towed by car. I would never buy a static as you end up running into issues when it needs moving off site. Static homes here can be bought for a few thousand, but they are cheap as no caravan parks want them on their land!
This is one reason why I never thought it was a good idea to buy a mobile home. I was afraid of this very problem happening, years ago, and here we are seeing it happen. It's sad.
You can have a Mobile Home, that's not in a park, ya know ....
@@RUclipsDeletesComments Smart people can buy some land & put their mobile home on that. Getting land at a cheap price is hard now - but if you are willing to go to small, rural towns - you can find affordable land.
@@davisholman8149 If you buy a home you are also buying the land what makes a mobile home that isn't mobile any different?
It’s just more ethical purchasing a home since it’s a fixed mortgage. Owning a mobile is like glorified rent and it goes up It’s no different then renting an apartment except some apartments pay their own utilities and maintenance.
@@nc9978you are only buying the home which can be as inexpensive as a few thousand dollars.
That's the problem with human nature, if it DOESN'T affect them, they could care less. If it does.... THEN that's the time they panic. Such a pathetic species we are!

Poor people always get screwed. It's an inhumane world.
This is happening right now to us in Tampa Florida it is a nightmare we have lived here 16 years many of us are elderly and disabled retired and just wanna live our lives in peace new owners have came in and bought the property and throwing people out left and right homeless are everywhere .. those are are my friends and Neighbors..these people are monsters they only care about money , As a struggling single mom We don't know where we would go we would be homeless too just like everyone else. They are basically selling our homes out from in under us .ours is for sale now if someone buys it we're out just simple...homeless.. Meanwhile to make matters worse they raise our rent so we can't save any money and slapped us with all these fines and bills it's unimaginable chaos No wonder there is so much suicide I get it now.
We have a lot of mobile homes in Tampa. For many years, its been generally a rural city, but the county is trying very hard to gentrify it in favor of richer snowbirds and tech tourists... natives are being pushed out in favor of people from the West Coast ...
I am so sorry it is happening there, i have not seen much in new mexico...yet
don't be single baby momma
Any relation to the Tankersley’s in California? I might be a distant cousin of yours.
I'm sorry about your plight, but you folks get what you vote for. DeSatan is not going to help u.
Amen.amen.amen. never give up. Lol. Everyone. Jan from texas.
As a person who lives in Phoenix, GCU is a bad neighbor and has been for a long time. Community legal services sucks too the folks there are overwhelmed and help comes too late.
We need to band together, put our money together, and buy these lands and keep them away from evil investors.. it should be criminal for someone to be evicted from a place they paid for. They need to be paid what they paid for the homes. Or no taxes
These companies should not be allowed to buy a mobile park and then use the land for a different purpose! This should be stipulated in local zoning laws! The local public officials s should have their feet held to the fire on these kind of travesties! And we wonder how people end up homeless?? 😡😡
How about not voting for corporate politicians
Yes, that community needs to come together and make an offer.
But....
"We need to band together, put our money together, and buy these lands"
-Well then why haven't you done it?
-In fact, if it's sooooooo easy why haven't you donut yourself?
"keep them away from evil investors"
-Dummy, if the "evil people" who originally invested in and created the trailer park in the first place... these people wouldn't have been able to live there DUH
"it should be criminal for someone to be evicted from a place they paid for"
-Except they didn't pay for it... they only rented it DUH
"They need to be paid what they paid for the homes"
-No one is stopping them from selling or moving their trailers off someone else's land and on to their own
"Or no taxes"
-Why shouldn't they have to pay taxes for the things they use?
@@justbe6387 they don't have money. Look at the condition of the house. They do not work enough hours
Properties where people live should not be sold to investors who plan on uprooting them. There needs to be laws against those behaviors. The "richer" needs to stop abusing the "poorer", but rather help them, not hurt them.
i woulnt buy the mobile home unless i own the land under it. The lease contains the fine print that no one ever reads...I have no problem with documents being in English as thats the official langage of the usa... There are plenty of translators out there. I live near the Grand cayon Univeristy owned trailer park and they gave almost 10 years or warning...
Its sad.
EVERYBODY PAYS RENT or a MORTGAGE and PROPERTY TAXES.
EVERYONES Rent goes up.
EVERYONES Home Insurance goes up.
EVERYONES Property Taxes go up
EVERYONE has gotten hit !
Your are so right. We all have to deal with it.
We live in a mobile home park in central FL the difference is we own the land as well but they are rare I think ours is the only one in our area like that
I cannot believe I found this video. I'm from California, and I lived in a mobile home park for 15 years. I'm a single mom and I raised my sonthere. I owned my mobile home, I did all repairs and upkeep myself even though I am disabled. I had a beautiful yard that people came from all over town to see. It was a beautiful fairy garden. The guy who owned the mobile home park sold it to a guy in Los Angeles. At the time we paid $400 a month and I couldn't afford to pay anymore than that with utilities and phone. We had land lines back then. I couldn't afford a cellphone. One day I found an eviction notice on my front door. The reason for me and my son being evicted? Because my driveway wasn't swept. That's it. I had just successfully kept my mother from being evicted after she recieved a notice. Again it was for a made up reason. My mother had lived there for 34 years. I couldn't keep myself from being evicted. I think the reason was because of the new managers. I called the police when the woman and her kids tried repeatedly to steal my dog. They called the police on me saying that it was their dog but thankfully he was chipped and I had pictures from the first day I got him up to then. There were and still are a lot of immigrants living there, mostly illegal and making very little money. But that didn't stop the new owner from raising the space rent from $400 to $650. Most of the people that lived there couldn't afford that. And a lot of people were evicted for stupid reasons, slamming a door, tv too loud, work boots on front porches. It was ridiculous. We all recieved notices that the owner was going to fix up the trailer park and make it into a park like settling. That was 8 years ago and the last time I was in California I drove through the place and it is a bigger craphole than before. Now it's full of dirt heads and dope dealers. I'm sorry for what the people in Arizona went through. It is happening all over the country.
Now you non blacks know what gentrification feels like. Reap what you have sown. Capitalism 🤌🏾😆
Generally, their strategy is to keep jacking up the lot rent, making hand over fist for as long as possible, until they reach a cutoff where nobody can afford the lot rent. Then they sell it to developers for another profit and the developers then bulldoze the place & build luxury homes. It’s all about the land, and the nicer the surrounding area is the more at risk the park is.
And on the other end of the homeless issue is that housing which sits empty is allowed a write-off, when it would be much better for cities to double or quadruple tax it instead to influence it back into the market. So this artificial bubble that leaves next to no affordable housing is definitely a manufactured crisis, and the way government works isn't helping.
This is absolutely crazy.
I had to move to a mobile home in a park because my husband was dying of Alzheimer's and cancer... We needed a more user-friendly place to live to live. I've been here four years. I'm having nightmares about this. I still owe $70,000 on the house. And where do I go if somebody else buys the land and tells me I have to get out. There should be some kind of law prohibiting this.
You were foolish buying a $70,000 home on land you don't own.
In a modern country, NOBODY OWNS THEIR HOME! If you have to pay property tax to the government and they can eventually evict you if you stop paying taxes, then that basically means your government rents your home out to you, except you don't even get a landlord to fix your stuff. The land your house is on isn't yours, which means the house built on it isn't yours either! You'd have to go to some 3rd world place that's literally not on the map and maybe there you could live tax free.
This is just heartbreaking. It's too bad the community couldn't form an association or business, get a loan, purchase a piece of land and relocate the community there, where no one could make them leave. Just daydreaming here, but there must be an answer. So unfair for these people to be going through this. The government should be offering real solutions.
Is it possible for mobile home parks to become cooperatives? I know of a system of elderly housing that are cooperatives and the residents pay 30% of their income for housing. The waitlist is years long but perhaps current owners could be given first dibs if the parks become coops.
That happened to me in Canada, they sold the park and told us all to get out in a year, one guy was forced to upgrade his home by the park so he put 15g into upgrading then right after the company sold the park and he was still on hook for that loan but the home now it couldn't be moved and they just demolished it. We got nothing no monetary compensation for our troubles and the govt wouldnt even return our calls.
That's when you sue
@@Delimon007 the fine print in the lease protects the owners, good luck

This is so sad.I dream of buying a mobile home park.I would love to have ready made community who all know each other,have been there for years and likely to stay for life.
I would love living there among my new "family".I pray for a miracle to buy one. Keep me in your prayers. If God grants my wish, whatever park I buy,rents will stay the same,we'll start a garden, a dog park area.a food and clothes exchange, and more.
We will do it ourselves,no need to raise rent.

This is so sad.. wish everyone had affordable housing.
Unfortunately, if you don’t own the land, you don’t really own your home. The landowner has the right to do what they want with the land they own. If they don’t control their own land, trailer parks will disappear because nobody will invest in them. Even those who own a regular house lose it if they don’t pay the property taxes. It is just a hard fact of life.
This happened to us, we finally found somewhere to move right before Christmas. The park was in Michigan, we had to just walk away.
This has been happening for years. My grandparents were living in a park paying 350 a month. After it was sold the space rent was increased by double. It's really sad.
what does yes committees plan upon here required to pre regester it of all mobile home parks
Fight for Us! Damn that hits deep
They won't be happy until they put everyone on the streets in tents. I love this country, but I hate what it's becoming. Greed is destroying it
Yea and then when more people are homeless or living in their cars if they have one the other residents will be bitching about it this is all about greed the rich making the middle and poor poorer
How much are they looking to raise the space rent?
The new owners want to renovate the park?
The owners could buy the mobile homes or current owners could sell homes?
Yes this is happening everywhere. We are being pushed out by the greedy.
It doesn't help when zoning laws keep you from buying land anywhere and putting a mobile home on .
These people feel so entitled. Sad, but really shows the entitlement and lack of planning!
Exactly - the illegals are especially entitled. Send them packing. The first folks in the video knew for damn near 7 years the land was sold and they would have to move.
