At one time, mobile home parks were an opportunity for people to own a house at a more affordable price. But now, the current real estate is pricing people out of their longtime homes.

    Investors should be required to pay a VERY fair price to the people they want to displace.

    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.
  • Let’s all hope that when we are in our 70’s we’re not facing homelessness. It can happen to ANYONE.
  • @chadillac2472
    That's the problem with mobile home parks, you don't own the land the trailer sits on.
  • @poisenbery
    it's hard to watch because she's managed to cultivate such a beautiful garden
  • @GypsyoftheSun
    Let's increase the already horrific homeless problem. This is sickening 🤢
  • @dawnbrady684
    I dont care who or why its being done. Booting people from their safe space is foul. There is a special space for hell for people thinking this is ok.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Sad story and unfortunately happening to thousands of Americans across the country. Glad that some folks have stepped up to help her.
  • @elainegoad9777
    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.
  • @skcyclist
    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.
  • @AarenIgnazio77
    This is disgusting. These companies need to be canceled!
  • @mrwonderful2142
    Developers should be required to cover relocation costs for residents who's home they want to bulldoze
  • @hijoaputa1128
    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
  • @madjack8893
    The owner who will make millions upon millions can’t get her a 50 thousand trailer? 🙄
  • In Bell Gardens the community fought back and recently won rent control in their park.
  • @supermaniac5
    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.
  • @batcactus6046
    How do the streets fill up with homeless? This is how.
  • @jamesronald3626
    Still good folks around helping each other.. thanks to all who helped this lady .
