Already been homeless and I'm in my early twenties. Me and my wife own a mobile home in a park out in South Carolina. We've been watching this happen in various places in the US. Waiting til it hits here
I own a small mobile home park in northern California and investors pester me constantly to sell. Most of my tenants are retirees and on fixed income. They have been perfect long term tenants that have been with me for years. I just started blocking every phone number of the real estate agents that call.
God bless you for protecting those seniors. I am in one of those parks in IA where rich investors took over. in 3 yrs time over half the people have lost their homes due to lot rent increases. we have been fighting to get laws in place to put a cap on it. Sadly, I am on a fixed income and now facing a move to a smaller place for more $. I have been happy here for over 20 years. Breaks my heart.
That's the plan. The oligarchs will OWN everything and there will be NO middle class. Thousands will become homeless and milliond will be forced to work for the oligarchs for pen its on the dollar. These new laws coming in make it easier to criminalize speech and behavior and even deputies regular citizens to turn against others for a few crumbs many of them will need. Most people will not and do not see ehat is happening. A woman prophet I followed predicted that by 2019 America would be completely SOLD OUT. She said this in 2012. She was RIGHT every step of the way including whrn she predicted Donald Trump as president. She did not call him by name but described him to a T. She also said war with Russia was coming and it has. This guy is determined to draw us into world war 3 and its clear he's using Ukraine as the proxy. Of course he waited until we are just coming out of Afghanistan and coming out of covid to draw the world back into 💩. Evil evil man. I can't wait till the "final news comes in about him and/or Trump. Humanity is in serious danger with these two. And trust me I smell Trump all over this.
Or, we can control the growth of the US population by not allowing mass immigration… As long as there’s “demand” for housing, developers are going to provide the “supply”…
@@xamyx2205 The mass flood of people into Our Country will quickly consume all available financial aid and we can all starve to death together. Guess we won't need to worry about housing issues 🤷🏻♀️ At least we were compassionate 🤣
Hell yeah but that was always my gripe about putting a mobile home on a rented lot when i was younger getting credit established i qualified for a single but not the land home package i asked what it the rent goes up and up up up to an unaffordable price i am at the mercy of a landlord.. I just waiting for my income to and credit to improve. But i do understand that some parts of the country prices are so high people dont have much choices
i genuinely think the city should own the land that trailer parks are on, & it should be put into agreement that the land is meant for housing mobile home properties ONLY or for said amount of time & is made of notice to residents so that shit like this doesn’t happen.
@@kennaluvschu then the government is on the hook for all of the repairs and upkeep. Everything the government touches turns to 💩. It took the DMV 6 hours after checking in to let my daughter take her learner’s permit test on the computer. There was a room with 20-30 computers. The most amount of computers being used at one time was 3. I asked if there was something wrong with the other computers. They said “no, but this is just how we do things.” I also waited over a year for a conceal carry permit after being promised it would take about 2 months. I finally got tired of waiting and called them to ask what the hell was going on. They said it was ready a long time ago, but for some reason, it was never mailed to me like they promised to do. I wouldn’t trust those fools to care for my home. They’re grossly incompetent, which is also a big reason why I also strongly oppose government run healthcare. If I can’t trust them to do something as simple as let my daughter on a computer in less than 6 hours despite having 20-30 computers available, why should I believe they won’t let me die in the waiting room at the hospital while I wait for treatment for several hours. A Canadian Bernie supporter admitted to me that’s exactly what would happen there. He said 12 hour waits. I was hospitalized with a kidney stone a few years ago and got treatment within 30 minutes of arriving in the ER under our private health insurance system. Printing a permit and mailing it to me within 2 months is also a very simple thing to do and they can’t even get that right either.
Right. Though you own the trailer you're still half renting paying lot rent. These old places can't be moved either, and the resident has to walk away.
It's not like she has a lot of money. It's sad that people don't care and it is all about greed. She shouldn't have to live in fear that she will become homeless.
Sadly, the same happen to me and my family and we endless up homeless counting in 4 months already. There is no kind of help especially here in Miami. Sadly people are very greedy here. All I ask is for prayers to hopefully one day have a roof over our heads. All my savings are almost gone due to inflation, what a time to be homeless. I don’t wish this up on anyone. God bless.
Yes, "May they all be blessed" because the American Govt Does NOT Give A DAMN about its own People !!! WHY should this Senior Citizen be Put At The MERCY Of Complete Strangers ??? WHY does America have Trillions to waste on needless and futile wars abroad, yet doesn't have the Ca$h to take care of its own Most Needy Citizens ??? HOW can America afford to welcome all those refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine, and yet Neglect Its Own Citizens this way ??? For 72 years as an American, I've seen America prop itself up on the World Stage as the Champion of Human Rights. How about the Human Rights of this Elderly Lady and of all other Americans, like Blacks, Hispanics, and American Natives, which this American Govt has Systematically Ignored since 1789 ???
Why question is, did she ever marry? Does she have kids and if so, where are they? In my culture, our parents live with us. I have 4 siblings but I took care of my Mom and Mother-N-Law.
I live in a senior mobile home park myself. I am also worried about these investors that are getting low interest government backed loans to purchase mobile home parks for the purpose of development. Seniors should never have to worry about where they're going to live when some millionaire investors come along and evict them. The Bible warns us about the love of money and that's all these investors think about. They wouldn't even care about my elderly neighbor who has Cancer.
I'm a senior, too. We've had DECADES to get our retirement years in place by buying an affordable home and have it paid off before we retire. We've had DECADES to build up a nest egg of savings and investments. I bought my house and 5 nice rental properties working as a hairdresser for 30 years. I did it, why haven't all the rest of people my age prepared for retirement??
@@eckankar7756 You have some nerve. You want to know why seniors have not bought 5 rental properties? You are either cold hearted and dumb or in early stages of dementia.
@@eckankar7756 Good on You for voicing what I was thinking. You did the work and planned. But I do feel sorry for the old Lady (I've got to watch who I call old, , I'm 69) she seem to have a good spirit about it and the owner of the property, I wish her well.
@@eckankar7756 Will you stop saying the same thing as you do on other channels. Many people face illness either themselves or family members, divorce, unemployment, fraud and a multitude of various other types of misfortune. I have seen many good people fail and many bad people succeed. Many people have become successful by being ruthless as these developers have. Hairdressers are well known for NOT paying their fair share of taxes. So stop with your simplistic and willful ignorant assertion as to why people fail. God bless.
@@eckankar7756 Kudos 😊 I own a home, have had several in fact and never a mortgage. There was less planning and mostly frugality. I didn't live like most do. The other part is just fortunate circumstances.
Dude they are asking the people who is not kicking her out and not making her homeless for help.while they have all the resources and money to help out this old lady. They could easily offer her a room in the new development but instead they pushing her out and having the people that ate struggling pay for her thats a straight bullshit move
Maybe when the new development is constructed she could move in. Difficult while they are bulldozing and building the new property for her to sit there. I'm her age, we had DECADES to buy very affordable nice homes but she failed to do that. She failed to build a savings for retirement, why? I worked as a hairdresser and bought my home and 5 nice rental properties, back in our day housing was easy to buy. I wonder why so many boomers as I am failed to prepare for retirement. I'm no genius, I have a high school diploma and a cosmetology license and I did it raising a family. When I go my kids and grandkids will get my properties to make their lives easier.
@@eckankar7756 You are absolutely correct, however their are those who make bad financial decisions, don't plan for their future, have health issues and other unforseen set backs. I'm sure she thought she'd out live the sale of the property she lives on.
Gentrification doesn't care about all of seniors trying to live on below poverty level social security and no affordable place to go. Gentrification greed and selfishness causes homelessness.
@@dapperdan8085 then why did wallstreet get bailed out for being criminally irresponsible frat boys on steroids? Why did my meth head aunt get unlimited chances to try again from her rich dad that most drug addicts don't get to fall back on? Why do most mill and billionaires have rich parents? Because personal responsibility is more like half of the equation.
So many people are so close to homeless its scary. Gentrification is taking over peoples lives and forcing them out of their homes. It’s not fair to those who want to live calm, quiet, simple lives. Some people are so cruel and judgmental of homeless people instead of trying to understand their situation and how easy it can happen in this gig economy. It’s great to hear a story about those who are connected with community members and looking out for each other.
Yes! Well said. So many assumptions about the homeless. They are called criminals and drug addicts when most times it’s not the case. Believe me. I’m on the verge. I work hard but things are too expensive now.
Also concerning is that big investment companies in constant efforts to increase profits are now moving to single family homes buying them up so people will own nothing
Wow! Eye opener. I'm facing retirement, in a few short years. I purchased a mobile home in a park. Yes, I pay lot rent. This was the best option for me. Do not regret purchase and very affordable. Being a thinker of "Nothing last forever" and watching this video. Backup plan in motion! Thanks for posting this! 💕💕💕
My grandmother told me if I don't own the land I eat, sleep and poop on then I will be at the mercy of the one who does. I'm 69 and bought my house and 5 other nice rental units working as a hairdresser. Seniors had the BEST opportunities to buy an affordable home for decades, and to save up a nest egg. Some chose not to participate in their own wealth building. When I go my kids and grandkids will get my properties to make their lives better. good luck with renting the land your mobile home is parked on. they have you as they know it's too expensive for you to move it elsewhere.
@@eckankar7756 Hi there! I understand your response. An investor once quoted to me "Whether it's a house, townhouse, condo, highrise or manufactured home, people are always going to want a nice place to live." I rent my rooms out. Made it affordable for my renters a profit for me. $$$$ for retirement and investing. Sometimes you may have to go the unconventional route which turns into to something spectacular. Thanks for the response. I always love to hear other points if views. That's how you stay ahead.👍👍
It isn't her land she only owns the mobile home. It's not their fault she can't move it because it's so run down. Maybe she can get money by claiming squatters rights since she has been living on that land for like 40 years?
Don't know about California, but Florida operates a Mobile Home Relocation Trust Fund that is an account for mobile home tenants to apply for relocation costs. It is funded through fees and taxes paid by the owners of the park properties. But it's worth only $3,000 to $4,000, so it may not cover the full cost.
@@kate0913kme Why? It's not the investor's fault this lady has no where to go. I feel bad for her but this is the way of the world. It's just progress. It's nothing against the tenants. It's business.
The state gov should build mobile home parks for seniors and set it up for residents to own the land in common, like CONDOS. Then they can't have it sold out from under them or redeveloped.
The Carlyle Group bought our our Olympia WA mobile home 2 years ago, and the rents have gone up and services taken away. The manager is a miserable communicator. Six people went to the AG because the rent raise was not on their lease. They had their rent reduced. We have no lease now and no protections if corporate decides to raise our rents to whatever they want. Corporate greed, the beating heart of America.
@@johnmartin4641 Until you are in danger of losing your land, your home or your business bc someone richer than you are wants what you have.😗🤔it could happen.
She's had decades to buy an affordable house and build a savings for retirement but she chose not to. I'm 69, I bought my house and 5 other nice rental properties working as a hairdresser while raising my family. I did it. We had the best opportunities to buy affordable homes easily, why didn't so many other boomers not participate in their own wealth building? My first house was $27K in 1977 my payments were $118 a month. I still live in it. My kids and grandkids will inherit my properties to make their lives easier. Why didn't this woman participate in her own well being?
@@eckankar7756 Perhaps you have a husband who helped you in saving and investing? It's Not kind or fair for you to judge her at all! Equity firms buying up all of the affordable housing are making it nearly impossible for young people to save for and buy their first home! Equity firms buying up these properties where Senior Citizens live on a small, fixed income should NEVER be made homeless simply to make another super wealthy! You have NO clue as to her life story or circumstances and it's harshly judgmental of you to do so!
The state does nothing to prevent these parks from being shut down nor do they give any protection to the residents against rate hikes. I’m fine in my home now but I’ll retire in a few years and there is no one at I can pay space rent here on my social security. California does a shameful job in providing affordable housing
I saw it 20 years ago and started looking at places cheaper than NY. 15 yrs ago I bit the bullet and 2,300 miles later a similar home that costs me 1/5 what my NY home did. Taxes, utilities, maintenance etc all cheaper to live. I would not have been able to stay in my NY home on my SS & eat.
@@wownewstome6123 Even the ones that do are capped at 6%, far above the average cost of living. Overtime, the vast majority of residents start losing ground against the rising rent and utilities
Maybe you can duplicate this: A mobile park home community got the city to rezone the land as for mobile home parks only! See news vid: Residents of San Jose Mobile Home Park Create Co-Op to Purchase Park Land
Let's also point this out. 6 yrs ago mobile homes that were new were still affordable. 30k for a small one, 60-90k for a double wide with 3-4 bedrooms. Now the prices aren't listed with the companies and when you look them up it's 90-100k for the double wide And 60-90k fora single wide. I'd blame current inflation but it's really just run of the mill inflated home prices. Also in a trailer park there's lot fees that keep going up every year just because. We used to consider a trailer. But not anymore.
Not to mention that as soon as you sign the paperwork to take over ownership of that mobile home it does the same thing your new car does when you sign the paperwork. It loses almost 1/4 of its value before it ever leaves the lot.
I have been asking 50,000.00 for years for my trailer but you know what the I'am not accepting the 15,000.00 people want to for it. over the years I have fix it, New roof, doors, windows, steps, deck, bathroom sinks, tubs, kichen sinks. People have told me good luck, I call it a blessing,
I bought the 2 acres my mobile sits on so I'm good. If a developer wants to buy my acreage, I'm the one that will gain, not someone else. It's always better to own than to rent, even a mobile home lot.
Better to live in a mobile home than homeless on the sidewalks. The state needs to zone untouchable mobile home zones for people like Dee who already own their mobile homes. That may sound socialist - the state owning the property, but sometimes in these cases, it can at least secure a plot for those who still pay rent & own their home.
The gov pays for "the projects" to house young people who don't work. Why isn't the gov taking care of seniors who built this country, paying for all the existing infrastructure?
I’m totally fine with the state owning certain parts of land that give people the option of affordable housing. If that’s what it takes, so be it. Our government exists to serve we the people. If we aren’t being served, it’s time for a new government.
The land is owned by private individuals. How. An the state own it. If it’s valuable land he will sell it to highest offer. Not likely being the state they will only possible pay fair market value. You have to look at the future value of the land too.
A city listened and rezoned at least one mobile home park, so it's protected from redevelopment. See vid: Residents of San Jose Mobile Home Park Create Co-Op to Purchase Park Land
Now that’s what gofundme is all about!!! Hell yeah! I recall my ex leaving me and the kids, 2 weeks before Christmas (2020)…he then abused gofundme to get ppl to pay for his new place. He raised $1000 and moved into a condo… and then three months later, he abandoned that place too!!!! Did he even try to pay those ppl back? Nope! I love seeing gofundme actually being used to help someone who’s REALLY needing it!!!
That's what millions of illegal immigrants coming across the Mexican border into California does. They create a shortage of affordable properties, which makes a few people wealthy, and places a hardship on the rest of us.
It's good that the developer seems to care and is also helping to relocate her. He doesn't have to do that. The people are also wonderful people. This whole thing gives me a tiny bit of hope for humanity.
If she had bought an affordable home years ago she'd be set. I'm a boomer and we had decades to buy very affordable homes back then. I bought my house in 1977 for $27K, my payments were $118 a month. I don't know why people my age never prepared, we had the best of times to buy a home.
Yes she can. My partner's mother moved from San Clemente to Yucaipa mobile home park and she potted up all her flowers, bushes, and plants and we brought them all over in a truck. She's replanted everything at her new home.
@@NotLikeUs17 I think the problem is she spent 35 years taking care of the roses and not preparing for the day when the property owner sells out and she has to move. She can dig up the rose bush but now has no where to replant it. If she bought a house 35 years ago when they were affordable and easy to purchase, she and the roses would be enjoying retirement right now rather than 'where am I going to go?" She chose to be the pig in the house of straw vs the pig in the house of bricks
@@Ephemeral2023 Yes, had she bought an affordable house years ago when they were plentiful, cheap and easy to buy she'd still be snipping fresh flowers from her roses today. But she didn't and she isn't. What you do in your 20s, 30s, 40s will determine how you'll live in your 50s, 60s and 70s.
Just happened to friends of mine.20 years renting AND repairing the same mobile home. Got a notice this month that they have until July to move as the owner has sold the property to a developer who is destroying all of the mobile homes on the property. Thankfully they lucked out and found another place they could afford. But a 60 day notice !! When rents have double in our area and they have 3 small elderly dogs. That's an additional minus or pet deposit and fee for each dog
I live in a 62 and older or tardo apartment building. I just had my annual recertification and my rent went up $30.00. Since we are a HUD our rents are capped and I told my manager that the owners group would LOVE to drop HUD and go to market based rent and she agreed. So, I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on the status and ownership of the property. Our market rents in the area have SKYROCKETED in the last 3 years.
HYDRO has doubled this year, and FOOD WILL DOUBLE soon. Those are expenses difficult to drop down, and your cash flow isn't JUMPING up th esame percentage, eh??
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki They have been "fudging" the inflation numbers for YEARS. So if you DON'T listen to "the economists" and their "inflation figures" and actually do a little reading and research, you will have a better grasp of the "true" inflation rate. I remember about 20 years ago, the predicted the AVERAGE electricity bill would be $700 a month by 2000. They weren't far off. The really sad thing is NOBODY has invested in the grid, water and sewer pipes and plants, our roads are a disgrace, due to "kicking the can down the road". We are so incredibly screwed and have no one to blame but ourselves. I don't see us digging out of this hole. Ever.
Mobile Home parks are being purchased everywhere, With your local city's help. We are being targeted. It is wrong to think we are disposable. I luv my home.
If you own a home and the property, it can be taken from you if you don't pay your property tax. Also, if you live in a community that has a HOA, and you break some rule, the HOA can fine you. If you don't pay the fine, they will take your home. A gov't entity can confiscate your property to build roads, libraries, stadiums, expand downtowns, and even force you to sell to a private developer if that developer promises to build businesses that generate sales tax revenue. Gov't entities can also tell you what you can and can't build on your property. If you are a really awful hoarder, your home can be declared uninhabitable and demolished as a public nuisance.
The city of Calgary tried to do that to the residents of the Blackfoot trail mobile home park. What the city had once deemed undesirable land had become a popular area for many upscale car dealerships. Because of that, the city tried to evict the residents so they could sell off the land. Unfortunately for the city, a small group of residents sued and the judge ruled in their favour. Now the residents are allowed to stay and the city can’t do anything about it.
We need rent maxed to 40 hours minimum wage per bedroom. A minimum wage isn't minimum wage if you can't pay rent. Find a lot she can own for that mobile home so nobody can kick her out again.
Economics 101 (I literally learned this in my college Economics 101 class)- minimum wage was never intended to be a livable wage. It was intended to be a starting wage that is the minimum allowed by state and federal laws.
@@louisaisthankful6455 too bad most jobs available are minimum wage? If minimum wage comprised like 15-25% of jobs available that would be one thing. But it's most jobs, therefore it's mathematically impossible to have all those jobs filled only by highschoolers or young adults, and it's mathematically impossible for most people to not get delegated to service industry. Saying it was only intended to be jobs for highschoolers is a convenient way of condemning over half the workforce to poverty.
this shows me that on a positive side , people care. On the negative side, this is happening all over and just shows me that many citys, townships etc really dont care about affordable housing. I am glad I didnt hear it stated that she would be put in an a apartment as she seems to love the outdoors plus her grooming business plus as it may start off affordable we all know how fast and high the rent goes up.
Those responsible figure that they will be dead before America turns into a complete unliveable hell hole. "Screw the children, they aren't our future but we will sure leave them to deal with the destruxtion we've caused!"
People with conscience and empathy are getting bullied out of the gene pool while the Mark Zuckerbergs among us prosper. The whole evolutionary trajectory of humanity is rewarding and cultivating criminally ambitious psychopaths to be the majority.
The developer had enough money to buy the land out from under her. Surely he has enough to buy her a trailer since he's essentially putting her out for profit. Bet he thinks, "It's not personal. It's business". I wonder who will kick him out of his home when he's elderly and had lived there for half of his life. I'm sorry but I think this is just an awful move on the developers part. Progress isn't creating more homeless.
Sure that investor seems like he's being nice, trying to "help" her; but what would really be nice is if he had thought about the situations he would be putting people like her in before he purchased the property. Or even better, if he gave her the money to relocate himself, instead of putting it on the goodness of everyday people with basic incomes to help her through the GoFundMe...
Not to mention, if the same thing is happening to all affordable housing, then it's just a joke to be "finding her another option" anyway. It's just lip service.
Give to her gofundme page! Poor sweet old lady. So sad, no protections for these seniors. F these greedy developers. Cruel and heartbreaking. No elderly persons should end up homeless on the streets bc of these truly corrupt, moral-less, evil developers. This is sickening
All those beautiful flowers, what a shame what some people do to others and the earth. She has such a beautiful place she’s worked hard her whole life to make beautiful. I hope her new place is as lovely as she’s made this one
Marx predicted that the workers would be priced out of the market. What's happening right now with food and rent? And people act like it's evil or insane to point it out.
That is sad that the government doesn't care The country doesn't care Need to be making a better difference and actually having some type of feeling And not a black heart
Where I live the manager is evicting people if you stand up to her or if she finds out someone doesn't like her. In less than a month she's already evicting two people I know even though they pay their rent on time. I don't know how she lives with herself for falsely evicting someone.
Look in ocean side. You have to pay her to move. Last time i checked l.a county. U have to pay her money to move. 35 years. Nice trailer park in ocean side
Maybe the developer can purchase a property for her in life estate and have her lease it back to them at an amount the proportionally tracks her fixed income? Develop the property let her be the resident manager.
She's had decades to buy an affordable home and have it paid off and to build a savings for retirement and she chose not to do that. I'm 69 and I did working as a hairdresser, why didn't she buy a house when it was cheap and easy back in the day?? She's not a victim, she chose to continue to rent.
@@eckankar7756 you're right, some people don't think that far ahead, and no one is obligated to help her. We could also look at it as she is stalling a much needed housing project to pick up for our housing deficit. But the fact of the matter is right now there is nothing affordable to move to and until she moves out or dies the project can't move forward. So what is a solution rather than getting upset that some people didn't sacrifice or think far ahead enough for having secure housing.
@@ktmboy1989 Those that chose not to invest in their own well being or their retirement can be warning signs to others. Owning a home is not secret or mystery nor was owning a home a sacrifice years ago. This is the way she chose to live her life so don't scream 'victim' now. Yes, now I bet she wishes she had bought a house. Once she's out of that area they can, perhaps, build hundreds of apartments or condos and house many many people. What is homeless for her can be a safe home for hundreds of others. Maybe she can move into one of the apartments/condos when they are built.
How much development do you need? Everything is a development now! Wild animals are running into the cities and suburbs because they're losing their homes and now so are people. A development for someone to live in is no good if others lose their place to live. smh
GoFund me for Dee Jackson! I know they'll take care of this lovely lady, thank you John & the lady that put up the GoFund me account! Happy Easter Dee! 🐣 🐰 🐣 🐰
Kicking all those people out of their home is in humane but these investors don't give a shit, they just act like they do. They will pay someday for their money making schemes at the cost of cruelty to others.
I live in a mobile home park in Vermont. With state and federal aid, we were able to go Co-op and are a non-profit keeping low income and elderly housing secure for the future
What is wrong with the city/county!?! Mobile home parks are EXISTING affordable housing. How can a city/county claim to need more affordable housing if you’re going to let developers destroy the affordable housing communities you already have 🙄
There is a mobile home park in Phoenix (Weldon Park) that opened in the 1950s, at 16th street and Indian School. Back then that was way out in suburbia so the rents were very affordable. Fast forward seventy years and its become prime real estate, so they too are being displaced. The developer and seller should provide assistance.
Check out the good thing a local gov did when a mobile home park community banded together. News clip title: Residents of San Jose Mobile Home Park Create Co-Op to Purchase Park Land. I hope more people follow suit. Plus, some parks in Cali have rent control.
It's actually cway worse than this news report tells. Large investment companies are not only buying the medium mobile home parks. When those large investment groups do but a park they raise the rent as much as possible each year & because of the nation wide housing market, even a 1990's mobile home is going for over $50,000, at least here in MN ( I tried last Sept to move into Moble home park myself & simply could not afford the rent, if I found a home I could afford to buy. Mobile home parks are no longer a affordable housing option, for a Sr on fixed income. And income based housing is not available in most of the country. The wait list is a minimum of a year and in most larger cities it's 5 years if you can actually get on wait list. Many housing authorities close their wait list ( are not adding people to the list) I don't know this woman. What I do know is the dollar goal is way to low to buy her any mobile home that's liveable. Please donate to her go fund me page, or she will likely be homeless!
I hope this developers project fails! Don’t tell me you care by setting up a damn Gofundme unless you plan to match whatever is donated! May God give greedy evil money hungry types exactly what they deserve….
They want to expand on the people who were originally was pushed out of the city centers. No one years ago, cared about these people who lived there. They were out of the way. Now with the cites falling apart and ramped crime, the wealthy investor and people want to move out to the outer areas that was once rural. So, this lady will be uprooted from her home for many years and taken somewhere else. The same thing with the tax base. As more expensive homes are built, we suffer elevated property tax. My spouse grandmother had difficulty paying all the taxes and went to the town board. They said if she can afford to pay, she must sell a go somewhere else. She kept her property nice and clean. Never no problems and minded her own business. How do you tell a 98 year old lady she has to move because of progress. Her husband passed away years ago. They were working people. Always paid bills and taxes. Just a side note, The wealthy new owners and builders of many property do not pay taxes on property. They use phony property identifications like they are farmers or land trusts. Its cycle that is not conducive of heritage and honesty. If the average people only knew how exposed to they to a system that will just throw them on the street.
I wish her all the luck in the world! But, 28,000. Isn't going to buy her anything these days. Maybe she should look into moving to a senior apt. They have them all over, and the rent is usually cheaper than normal apts.
Unfortunately here in So. Cali where this is occurring, waiting lists to get a lower senior apartment is about 12 years. I’ve been waiting 5 and nothing. Only option is to try to find a mobile park out of state that is 55 plus and is rent controlled. Not easy. 💕
@@K9_NINA Hmmm... I live in Southern California as well, and I've seen a few of them. Maybe not in low income areas, but I've seen them advertised, although, I haven't looked at the wait lists, so you would have a better idea than I. 🤷♀️
The killer for mobile homes for people is that although they have a house, they usually pay lot rent. If you live in your trailer, you MUST own the lot, title and deed!!!!!!
Maybe twenty years ago here in Olympia, Washington Walmart was going to buy the land where there was a mobile park. The folks who lived there were able to band together with some sort of government help and keep the park going. Still here and Walmart is still not in Olympia.
The taxes are higher than that. You obviously don’t own property and forget a landlord is a business. Why shouldn’t they make money? Every other business does.

I own a small mobile home park in northern California and investors pester me constantly to sell. Most of my tenants are retirees and on fixed income. They have been perfect long term tenants that have been with me for years. I just started blocking every phone number of the real estate agents that call.

God bless you for protecting those seniors.
I am in one of those parks in IA where rich investors took over. in 3 yrs time over half the people have lost their homes due to lot rent increases. we have been fighting to get laws in place to put a cap on it. Sadly, I am on a fixed income and now facing a move to a smaller place for more $. I have been happy here for over 20 years. Breaks my heart.
Let's increase the already horrific homeless problem. This is sickening 🤢
Yeah,that's what the rich do!
@@corvetcoyote443 That's what the greedy do. Not all rich people are greedy, many give money to help.
That's the plan. The oligarchs will OWN everything and there will be NO middle class. Thousands will become homeless and milliond will be forced to work for the oligarchs for pen its on the dollar.
These new laws coming in make it easier to criminalize speech and behavior and even deputies regular citizens to turn against others for a few crumbs many of them will need. Most people will not and do not see ehat is happening.
A woman prophet I followed predicted that by 2019 America would be completely SOLD OUT. She said this in 2012. She was RIGHT every step of the way including whrn she predicted Donald Trump as president. She did not call him by name but described him to a T.
She also said war with Russia was coming and it has. This guy is determined to draw us into world war 3 and its clear he's using Ukraine as the proxy.
Of course he waited until we are just coming out of Afghanistan and coming out of covid to draw the world back into 💩. Evil evil man. I can't wait till the "final news comes in about him and/or Trump. Humanity is in serious danger with these two. And trust me I smell Trump all over this.

Hell yeah but that was always my gripe about putting a mobile home on a rented lot when i was younger getting credit established i qualified for a single but not the land home package i asked what it the rent goes up and up up up to an unaffordable price i am at the mercy of a landlord.. I just waiting for my income to and credit to improve. But i do understand that some parts of the country prices are so high people dont have much choices
That's the problem with mobile home parks, you don't own the land the trailer sits on.
i genuinely think the city should own the land that trailer parks are on, & it should be put into agreement that the land is meant for housing mobile home properties ONLY or for said amount of time & is made of notice to residents so that shit like this doesn’t happen.
@@kennaluvschu then the government is on the hook for all of the repairs and upkeep. Everything the government touches turns to 💩. It took the DMV 6 hours after checking in to let my daughter take her learner’s permit test on the computer. There was a room with 20-30 computers. The most amount of computers being used at one time was 3. I asked if there was something wrong with the other computers. They said “no, but this is just how we do things.” I also waited over a year for a conceal carry permit after being promised it would take about 2 months. I finally got tired of waiting and called them to ask what the hell was going on. They said it was ready a long time ago, but for some reason, it was never mailed to me like they promised to do. I wouldn’t trust those fools to care for my home. They’re grossly incompetent, which is also a big reason why I also strongly oppose government run healthcare. If I can’t trust them to do something as simple as let my daughter on a computer in less than 6 hours despite having 20-30 computers available, why should I believe they won’t let me die in the waiting room at the hospital while I wait for treatment for several hours. A Canadian Bernie supporter admitted to me that’s exactly what would happen there. He said 12 hour waits. I was hospitalized with a kidney stone a few years ago and got treatment within 30 minutes of arriving in the ER under our private health insurance system. Printing a permit and mailing it to me within 2 months is also a very simple thing to do and they can’t even get that right either.
Not true, there's a lot of mobile home parks where you own the land
Right. Though you own the trailer you're still half renting paying lot rent. These old places can't be moved either, and the resident has to walk away.
@@progressivedragon6664 Resident owned MHP are very few and far between. I checked into that. With those, you have an HOA. That ain't great either.
Sad story and unfortunately happening to thousands of Americans across the country. Glad that some folks have stepped up to help her.
Population and politicians policies. Undocumented are included.
It's not like she has a lot of money. It's sad that people don't care and it is all about greed. She shouldn't have to live in fear that she will become homeless.
Some people do care, and the new owners are working with her as best they can.
Greed seems to be the theme the last 2 years
Sadly, the same happen to me and my family and we endless up homeless counting in 4 months already. There is no kind of help especially here in Miami. Sadly people are very greedy here. All I ask is for prayers to hopefully one day have a roof over our heads. All my savings are almost gone due to inflation, what a time to be homeless. I don’t wish this up on anyone. God bless.
Sadly that’s the reality for most Americans. We’re always one mishap away from homelessness and it’s a very difficult hole to climb out of.
Capitalism at its best
Kudos to the developer and the lady's friends who are helping out. The lady herself is a good spirit. May they all be blessed.
Yes, "May they all be blessed" because the American Govt Does NOT Give A DAMN about its own People !!! WHY should this Senior Citizen be Put At The MERCY Of Complete Strangers ??? WHY does America have Trillions to waste on needless and futile wars abroad, yet doesn't have the Ca$h to take care of its own Most Needy Citizens ??? HOW can America afford to welcome all those refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine, and yet Neglect Its Own Citizens this way ??? For 72 years as an American, I've seen America prop itself up on the World Stage as the Champion of Human Rights. How about the Human Rights of this Elderly Lady and of all other Americans, like Blacks, Hispanics, and American Natives, which this American Govt has Systematically Ignored since 1789 ???

That's the risk you take tho when you buy a mobile home.
@@ciello___8307 and your attitude is part of the reason we have such a growing homeless problem
Buy a land in Mexico 2000$ yup
I live in a senior mobile home park myself. I am also worried about these investors that are getting low interest government backed loans to purchase mobile home parks for the purpose of development. Seniors should never have to worry about where they're going to live when some millionaire investors come along and evict them. The Bible warns us about the love of money and that's all these investors think about. They wouldn't even care about my elderly neighbor who has Cancer.
I'm a senior, too. We've had DECADES to get our retirement years in place by buying an affordable home and have it paid off before we retire. We've had DECADES to build up a nest egg of savings and investments. I bought my house and 5 nice rental properties working as a hairdresser for 30 years. I did it, why haven't all the rest of people my age prepared for retirement??
@@eckankar7756 You have some nerve.

@@eckankar7756 Will you stop saying the same thing as you do on other channels. Many people face illness either themselves or family members, divorce, unemployment, fraud and a multitude of various other types of misfortune. I have seen many good people fail and many bad people succeed. Many people have become successful by being ruthless as these developers have. Hairdressers are well known for NOT paying their fair share of taxes. So stop with your simplistic and willful ignorant assertion as to why people fail.
God bless.
@@eckankar7756 Kudos 😊 I own a home, have had several in fact and never a mortgage. There was less planning and mostly frugality. I didn't live like most do. The other part is just fortunate circumstances.
Dude they are asking the people who is not kicking her out and not making her homeless for help.while they have all the resources and money to help out this old lady. They could easily offer her a room in the new development but instead they pushing her out and having the people that ate struggling pay for her thats a straight bullshit move
Maybe when the new development is constructed she could move in. Difficult while they are bulldozing and building the new property for her to sit there. I'm her age, we had DECADES to buy very affordable nice homes but she failed to do that. She failed to build a savings for retirement, why? I worked as a hairdresser and bought my home and 5 nice rental properties, back in our day housing was easy to buy. I wonder why so many boomers as I am failed to prepare for retirement. I'm no genius, I have a high school diploma and a cosmetology license and I did it raising a family. When I go my kids and grandkids will get my properties to make their lives easier.
@@eckankar7756 You are absolutely correct, however their are those who make bad financial decisions, don't plan for their future, have health issues and other unforseen set backs. I'm sure she thought she'd out live the sale of the property she lives on.

Gentrification doesn't care about all of seniors trying to live on below poverty level social security and no affordable place to go. Gentrification greed and selfishness causes homelessness.
Lack of education, poor life choices and stupidity/selfishness cause homlessness
@@dapperdan8085 then why did wallstreet get bailed out for being criminally irresponsible frat boys on steroids?
Why did my meth head aunt get unlimited chances to try again from her rich dad that most drug addicts don't get to fall back on?
Why do most mill and billionaires have rich parents? Because personal responsibility is more like half of the equation.
So many people are so close to homeless its scary. Gentrification is taking over peoples lives and forcing them out of their homes. It’s not fair to those who want to live calm, quiet, simple lives. Some people are so cruel and judgmental of homeless people instead of trying to understand their situation and how easy it can happen in this gig economy.
It’s great to hear a story about those who are connected with community members and looking out for each other.

Yes! Well said. So many assumptions about the homeless. They are called criminals and drug addicts when most times it’s not the case. Believe me. I’m on the verge. I work hard but things are too expensive now.

Hi there!
I understand your response. An investor once quoted to me "Whether it's a house, townhouse, condo, highrise or manufactured home, people are always going to want a nice place to live."
I rent my rooms out. Made it affordable for my renters a profit for me. $$$$ for retirement and investing. Sometimes you may have to go the unconventional route which turns into to something spectacular. Thanks for the response. I always love to hear other points if views. That's how you stay ahead.👍👍
Developers should be required to cover relocation costs for residents who's home they want to bulldoze
Yes they should. Pay for the full cost of their new homes.
They don’t care. It’s capitalism.
It isn't her land she only owns the mobile home. It's not their fault she can't move it because it's so run down. Maybe she can get money by claiming squatters rights since she has been living on that land for like 40 years?
Don't know about California, but Florida operates a Mobile Home Relocation Trust Fund that is an account for mobile home tenants to apply for relocation costs. It is funded through fees and taxes paid by the owners of the park properties. But it's worth only $3,000 to $4,000, so it may not cover the full cost.
@@kate0913kme Why? It's not the investor's fault this lady has no where to go. I feel bad for her but this is the way of the world. It's just progress. It's nothing against the tenants. It's business.

In Bell Gardens the community fought back and recently won rent control in their park.

Cool. My Mom was the Principal of Bell Gardens HS from 1979 until 1986. Been a lot of changes in the city since then.

The state gov should build mobile home parks for seniors and set it up for residents to own the land in common, like CONDOS. Then they can't have it sold out from under them or redeveloped.

The state does nothing to prevent these parks from being shut down nor do they give any protection to the residents against rate hikes. I’m fine in my home now but I’ll retire in a few years and there is no one at I can pay space rent here on my social security. California does a shameful job in providing affordable housing
Some mobile home parks in California have rent control. Every park should, nation wide, in my opinion.
I saw it 20 years ago and started looking at places cheaper than NY. 15 yrs ago I bit the bullet and 2,300 miles later a similar home that costs me 1/5 what my NY home did. Taxes, utilities, maintenance etc all cheaper to live. I would not have been able to stay in my NY home on my SS & eat.
@@wownewstome6123
Even the ones that do are capped at 6%, far above the average cost of living. Overtime, the vast majority of residents start losing ground against the rising rent and utilities
Maybe you can duplicate this: A mobile park home community got the city to rezone the land as for mobile home parks only! See news vid: Residents of San Jose Mobile Home Park Create Co-Op to Purchase Park Land
Let's also point this out. 6 yrs ago mobile homes that were new were still affordable. 30k for a small one, 60-90k for a double wide with 3-4 bedrooms. Now the prices aren't listed with the companies and when you look them up it's 90-100k for the double wide
And 60-90k fora single wide. I'd blame current inflation but it's really just run of the mill inflated home prices. Also in a trailer park there's lot fees that keep going up every year just because. We used to consider a trailer. But not anymore.
Not to mention that as soon as you sign the paperwork to take over ownership of that mobile home it does the same thing your new car does when you sign the paperwork. It loses almost 1/4 of its value before it ever leaves the lot.
I have been asking 50,000.00 for years for my trailer but you know what the I'am not accepting the 15,000.00 people want to for it. over the years I have fix it, New roof, doors, windows, steps, deck, bathroom sinks, tubs, kichen sinks. People have told me
good luck, I call it a blessing,
I bought the 2 acres my mobile sits on so I'm good. If a developer wants to buy my acreage, I'm the one that will gain, not someone else. It's always better to own than to rent, even a mobile home lot.
Better to live in a mobile home than homeless on the sidewalks. The state needs to zone untouchable mobile home zones for people like Dee who already own their mobile homes. That may sound socialist - the state owning the property, but sometimes in these cases, it can at least secure a plot for those who still pay rent & own their home.
The gov pays for "the projects" to house young people who don't work. Why isn't the gov taking care of seniors who built this country, paying for all the existing infrastructure?
And senior citizens aren't breeding more welfare recipients!
I’m totally fine with the state owning certain parts of land that give people the option of affordable housing. If that’s what it takes, so be it. Our government exists to serve we the people. If we aren’t being served, it’s time for a new government.
The land is owned by private individuals. How. An the state own it. If it’s valuable land he will sell it to highest offer. Not likely being the state they will only possible pay fair market value. You have to look at the future value of the land too.
A city listened and rezoned at least one mobile home park, so it's protected from redevelopment. See vid: Residents of San Jose Mobile Home Park Create Co-Op to Purchase Park Land
Now that’s what gofundme is all about!!! Hell yeah! I recall my ex leaving me and the kids, 2 weeks before Christmas (2020)…he then abused gofundme to get ppl to pay for his new place. He raised $1000 and moved into a condo… and then three months later, he abandoned that place too!!!! Did he even try to pay those ppl back? Nope! I love seeing gofundme actually being used to help someone who’s REALLY needing it!!!
That's what millions of illegal immigrants coming across the Mexican border into California does. They create a shortage of affordable properties, which makes a few people wealthy, and places a hardship on the rest of us.
YESSS!!!
Blessings for her that she gets her new home in a nice location.

How about you donate?
It's good that the developer seems to care and is also helping to relocate her. He doesn't have to do that. The people are also wonderful people. This whole thing gives me a tiny bit of hope for humanity.
That’s very sad. She can’t take her roses and beautiful flowers with her and she cherishes those.
If she had bought an affordable home years ago she'd be set. I'm a boomer and we had decades to buy very affordable homes back then. I bought my house in 1977 for $27K, my payments were $118 a month. I don't know why people my age never prepared, we had the best of times to buy a home.
Yes she can. My partner's mother moved from San Clemente to Yucaipa mobile home park and she potted up all her flowers, bushes, and plants and we brought them all over in a truck. She's replanted everything at her new home.
Yes she can. We were able to take my grandmothers rose bush with us after she died.
@@NotLikeUs17 I think the problem is she spent 35 years taking care of the roses and not preparing for the day when the property owner sells out and she has to move. She can dig up the rose bush but now has no where to replant it. If she bought a house 35 years ago when they were affordable and easy to purchase, she and the roses would be enjoying retirement right now rather than 'where am I going to go?" She chose to be the pig in the house of straw vs the pig in the house of bricks
@@Ephemeral2023 Yes, had she bought an affordable house years ago when they were plentiful, cheap and easy to buy she'd still be snipping fresh flowers from her roses today. But she didn't and she isn't.

Thankfully they lucked out and found another place they could afford. But a 60 day notice !! When rents have double in our area and they have 3 small elderly dogs. That's an additional minus or pet deposit and fee for each dog

I live in a 62 and older or tardo apartment building. I just had my annual recertification and my rent went up $30.00. Since we are a HUD our rents are capped and I told my manager that the owners group would LOVE to drop HUD and go to market based rent and she agreed. So, I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on the status and ownership of the property. Our market rents in the area have SKYROCKETED in the last 3 years.

@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki They have been "fudging" the inflation numbers for YEARS. So if you DON'T listen to "the economists" and their "inflation figures" and actually do a little reading and research, you will have a better grasp of the "true" inflation rate. I remember about 20 years ago, the predicted the AVERAGE electricity bill would be $700 a month by 2000. They weren't far off. The really sad thing is NOBODY has invested in the grid, water and sewer pipes and plants, our roads are a disgrace, due to "kicking the can down the road". We are so incredibly screwed and have no one to blame but ourselves. I don't see us digging out of this hole. Ever.
Mobile Home parks are being purchased everywhere, With your local city's help. We are being targeted. It is wrong to think we are disposable. I luv my home.
It should be illegal to take someone's home
If you own a home and the property, it can be taken from you if you don't pay your property tax. Also, if you live in a community that has a HOA, and you break some rule, the HOA can fine you. If you don't pay the fine, they will take your home. A gov't entity can confiscate your property to build roads, libraries, stadiums, expand downtowns, and even force you to sell to a private developer if that developer promises to build businesses that generate sales tax revenue. Gov't entities can also tell you what you can and can't build on your property. If you are a really awful hoarder, your home can be declared uninhabitable and demolished as a public nuisance.
The city of Calgary tried to do that to the residents of the Blackfoot trail mobile home park. What the city had once deemed undesirable land had become a popular area for many upscale car dealerships. Because of that, the city tried to evict the residents so they could sell off the land. Unfortunately for the city, a small group of residents sued and the judge ruled in their favour. Now the residents are allowed to stay and the city can’t do anything about it.
We need rent maxed to 40 hours minimum wage per bedroom. A minimum wage isn't minimum wage if you can't pay rent. Find a lot she can own for that mobile home so nobody can kick her out again.
Economics 101 (I literally learned this in my college Economics 101 class)- minimum wage was never intended to be a livable wage. It was intended to be a starting wage that is the minimum allowed by state and federal laws.
Even that is too much. Rent should only be 30% of people's incomes otherwise investors will tell you that's not enough to be saving for a future.
@@louisaisthankful6455 too bad most jobs available are minimum wage?
If minimum wage comprised like 15-25% of jobs available that would be one thing. But it's most jobs, therefore it's mathematically impossible to have all those jobs filled only by highschoolers or young adults, and it's mathematically impossible for most people to not get delegated to service industry.
Saying it was only intended to be jobs for highschoolers is a convenient way of condemning over half the workforce to poverty.
Wow How can an elderly women get kicked out did she not have a contact?
It would only be for 1 year at a time.

this shows me that on a positive side , people care. On the negative side, this is happening all over and just shows me that many citys, townships etc really dont care about affordable housing. I am glad I didnt hear it stated that she would be put in an a apartment as she seems to love the outdoors plus her grooming business plus as it may start off affordable we all know how fast and high the rent goes up.

It's so sad when people get pushed out their homes and properties
People with a conscience and empathy for others are what is going to change the world for the better.
No us people with empathy and a conscience will have to look over our shoulders because of the greed ravaging this country .
@@abbyarnold4477 facts! Greed has taken over people’s minds 🤑
👍👍👍
People with conscience and empathy are getting bullied out of the gene pool while the Mark Zuckerbergs among us prosper.
The whole evolutionary trajectory of humanity is rewarding and cultivating criminally ambitious psychopaths to be the majority.
Hard to be uprooted from where you have lived for 35 yrs. I'm glad to see some humanity for her.
I went on the gofundme page to donate, but they have stopped accepting donations. They got over $32,000. I hope it's enough.
Please keep us updated I hope she is happy and well taken care of.
The developer had enough money to buy the land out from under her. Surely he has enough to buy her a trailer since he's essentially putting her out for profit.
Bet he thinks, "It's not personal. It's business". I wonder who will kick him out of his home when he's elderly and had lived there for half of his life. I'm sorry but I think this is just an awful move on the developers part. Progress isn't creating more homeless.
GREED DOESNT GIVE A DAMN!!! NO HEART!
Sure that investor seems like he's being nice, trying to "help" her; but what would really be nice is if he had thought about the situations he would be putting people like her in before he purchased the property. Or even better, if he gave her the money to relocate himself, instead of putting it on the goodness of everyday people with basic incomes to help her through the GoFundMe...
Not to mention, if the same thing is happening to all affordable housing, then it's just a joke to be "finding her another option" anyway. It's just lip service.
That's why when buying homes it's best to buy the land..
Give to her gofundme page! Poor sweet old lady. So sad, no protections for these seniors. F these greedy developers. Cruel and heartbreaking. No elderly persons should end up homeless on the streets bc of these truly corrupt, moral-less, evil developers. This is sickening
At least this developer is being decent and trying to help her.
So now, the American Dream is not to become homeless? This is not right.
It’s seems to be heading in that direction. 😔
All those beautiful flowers, what a shame what some people do to others and the earth. She has such a beautiful place she’s worked hard her whole life to make beautiful. I hope her new place is as lovely as she’s made this one
Need moratoriums on shutting them down.......30 years minimum.
Thanks to the owners of this land for helping this senior and her bird. ❤
Marx predicted that the workers would be priced out of the market.
What's happening right now with food and rent?
And people act like it's evil or insane to point it out.
Those flowers are so gorgeous and you can see her love ❤️for her home
That is sad that the government doesn't care The country doesn't care Need to be making a better difference and actually having some type of feeling And not a black heart
Where I live the manager is evicting people if you stand up to her or if she finds out someone doesn't like her. In less than a month she's already evicting two people I know even though they pay their rent on time. I don't know how she lives with herself for falsely evicting someone.
😳🤔
Some day Karma will bite her in the butt. Hope she realizes why
Where is this happening?
Someone needs to report her for it.
Look in ocean side.
You have to pay her to move. Last time i checked l.a county. U have to pay her money to move. 35 years. Nice trailer park in ocean side
Thousand Oaks is ventura county . All the LA investors are coming out to ventura county and destroying it .
She should win💜
This has been happening all over Florida for 20 years.
Maybe the developer can purchase a property for her in life estate and have her lease it back to them at an amount the proportionally tracks her fixed income?
Develop the property let her be the resident manager.
Wishful thinking, we all know that’s not going to happen
She's had decades to buy an affordable home and have it paid off and to build a savings for retirement and she chose not to do that. I'm 69 and I did working as a hairdresser, why didn't she buy a house when it was cheap and easy back in the day?? She's not a victim, she chose to continue to rent.
@@eckankar7756 you're right, some people don't think that far ahead, and no one is obligated to help her.
We could also look at it as she is stalling a much needed housing project to pick up for our housing deficit.
But the fact of the matter is right now there is nothing affordable to move to and until she moves out or dies the project can't move forward.
So what is a solution rather than getting upset that some people didn't sacrifice or think far ahead enough for having secure housing.
@@ktmboy1989 Those that chose not to invest in their own well being or their retirement can be warning signs to others. Owning a home is not secret or mystery nor was owning a home a sacrifice years ago. This is the way she chose to live her life so don't scream 'victim' now. Yes, now I bet she wishes she had bought a house.
Once she's out of that area they can, perhaps, build hundreds of apartments or condos and house many many people. What is homeless for her can be a safe home for hundreds of others. Maybe she can move into one of the apartments/condos when they are built.
How much development do you need? Everything is a development now! Wild animals are running into the cities and suburbs because they're losing their homes and now so are people. A development for someone to live in is no good if others lose their place to live. smh
GoFund me for Dee Jackson! I know they'll take care of this lovely lady, thank you John & the lady that put up the GoFund me account! Happy Easter Dee! 🐣 🐰 🐣 🐰
Kicking all those people out of their home is in humane but these investors don't give a shit, they just act like they do. They will pay someday for their money making schemes at the cost of cruelty to others.
If you have a 401k there is a good chance you are one of the investors you complain about
Kudos to John and Robin......So glad that Dee is being helped......Everyone deserves this much care, compassion and respect !!
Why doesn't the developer buy her a home
He's nice, but he is not that nice.🤣
Praying for this woman to find a new home.
" I don't think that we're in America anymore toto! " 😯😥
I live in a mobile home park in Vermont. With state and federal aid, we were able to go Co-op and are a non-profit keeping low income and elderly housing secure for the future
If John is that nice then he should let her have one of his homes that he’s building
That’s what a developer did for a woman in Laughlin Nevada. They gave her the penthouse for life. She went to Europe to buy furniture and died.
Why? Not his responsibility
Nice people helping a nice women!
Please show more of these positive news stories!
Glory to God for kind people trying to find Dee a home.
What is wrong with the city/county!?! Mobile home parks are EXISTING affordable housing. How can a city/county claim to need more affordable housing if you’re going to let developers destroy the affordable housing communities you already have 🙄
This should never legally build out these people work hard just to have a decent place to live leave them alone.
There is a mobile home park in Phoenix (Weldon Park) that opened in the 1950s, at 16th street and Indian School. Back then that was way out in suburbia so the rents were very affordable. Fast forward seventy years and its become prime real estate, so they too are being displaced. The developer and seller should provide assistance.
Girl you are an angel to this lady. You are so awesome. THANK YOU for doing that god bless you good is proud of you.
So thankful that Dee has been given a Guardian Angel to help in this crisis!!❤ God is still at work!
Are mobile home parks and other real estate areas going to have to be re registered as a non profit just for people to keep their homes ?
Check out the good thing a local gov did when a mobile home park community banded together. News clip title: Residents of San Jose Mobile Home Park Create Co-Op to Purchase Park Land.
I hope more people follow suit. Plus, some parks in Cali have rent control.
I like your idea, too!
It's disgusting. The property buyers of land who do this have no ethics.
this poor lady!
It's actually cway worse than this news report tells.
Large investment companies are not only buying the medium mobile home parks. When those large investment groups do but a park they raise the rent as much as possible each year & because of the nation wide housing market, even a 1990's mobile home is going for over $50,000, at least here in MN ( I tried last Sept to move into Moble home park myself & simply could not afford the rent, if I found a home I could afford to buy.
Mobile home parks are no longer a affordable housing option, for a Sr on fixed income. And income based housing is not available in most of the country. The wait list is a minimum of a year and in most larger cities it's 5 years if you can actually get on wait list. Many housing authorities close their wait list ( are not adding people to the list)
I don't know this woman.
What I do know is the dollar goal is way to low to buy her any mobile home that's liveable.
Please donate to her go fund me page, or she will likely be homeless!
Harming people who have so little to make a profit for yourself, very sad
May Our Creator of the Whole Universe bless Dee in abundance and bless her with a new home in a safe place.
I've heard of renters gaining ownership of the park, but have no idea how it is done.
Why not let her live out the rest of her life in their new development. If its new condos or apartments. Small loss to their major payout
I hope this developers project fails! Don’t tell me you care by setting up a damn Gofundme unless you plan to match whatever is donated! May God give greedy evil money hungry types exactly what they deserve….
The purchasers of the property should be required by law to pay the people they're displacing.
Time to GTF out of Mexifornia!
They want to expand on the people who were originally was pushed out of the city centers. No one years ago, cared about these people who lived there. They were out of the way. Now with the cites falling apart and ramped crime, the wealthy investor and people want to move out to the outer areas that was once rural. So, this lady will be uprooted from her home for many years and taken somewhere else. The same thing with the tax base. As more expensive homes are built, we suffer elevated property tax. My spouse grandmother had difficulty paying all the taxes and went to the town board. They said if she can afford to pay, she must sell a go somewhere else. She kept her property nice and clean. Never no problems and minded her own business. How do you tell a 98 year old lady she has to move because of progress. Her husband passed away years ago. They were working people. Always paid bills and taxes. Just a side note, The wealthy new owners and builders of many property do not pay taxes on property. They use phony property identifications like they are farmers or land trusts. Its cycle that is not conducive of heritage and honesty. If the average people only knew how exposed to they to a system that will just throw them on the street.
I wish her all the luck in the world! But, 28,000. Isn't going to buy her anything these days. Maybe she should look into moving to a senior apt. They have them all over, and the rent is usually cheaper than normal apts.
Unfortunately here in So. Cali where this is occurring, waiting lists to get a lower senior apartment is about 12 years. I’ve been waiting 5 and nothing. Only option is to try to find a mobile park out of state that is 55 plus and is rent controlled. Not easy. 💕
@@K9_NINA Hmmm...
I live in Southern California as well, and I've seen a few of them. Maybe not in low income areas, but I've seen them advertised, although, I haven't looked at the wait lists, so you would have a better idea than I. 🤷♀️
@Laura Newbie: Senior apartments here have 10 to 15 year waiting lists. Same with Section 8 vouchers for housing. Same with public housing.
The killer for mobile homes for people is that although they have a house, they usually pay lot rent. If you live in your trailer, you MUST own the lot, title and deed!!!!!!
Maybe twenty years ago here in Olympia, Washington Walmart was going to buy the land where there was a mobile park. The folks who lived there were able to band together with some sort of government help and keep the park going. Still here and Walmart is still not in Olympia.
Why doesn't the developer buy her a new trailer?
🌺🌸🌼🍀🌻 She sure has beautiful flowers in her garden, and she is a beautiful soul. Best wishes for her future. ❤ 🙂
The government needs to have mercy on the citizens
Yes communities are the worst ! 50.00 raise each year . These devil's deserve the deepest part of hell .
The taxes are higher than that. You obviously don’t own property and forget a landlord is a business. Why shouldn’t they make money? Every other business does.
