real christian louboutin outlet some kind of protection for them
But will it be lost to condos It is a scene that's being played out across the
country.Like those in paradise park, many mobile home residents own their
trailers but rent the land beneath them, leaving them vulnerable to developers
who are increasingly converting parks into condominiums and malls. The sales are
happening primarily in hot real estate markets where land is pricey and ripe for
more lucrative development.The dwindling number of parks means that affordable
housing is being eliminated where it's needed most, residents and industry
analysts say. "The people putting on your roof, your teachers, the nurses in
your hospitals those are (More
Here) the people that are living there because it's what they can afford as
they start out,"Says ed speraw, president of the manufactured homeowners
association of america. The development boom is taking its toll on the supply of
mobile homes.Nevada has lost 30 mobile home parks in the past four years, 16 of
them in clark county, home of las vegas, says renee diamond, administrator of
the nevada manufactured housing division. "We have the yin and yang,"Diamond
says. "The beautiful homes being built for a million dollars, but what we don't
have is affordable housing anymore. " States offer help Efforts to help park
residents vary from state to state.They range from requiring that a park owner
relocate the residents within 50 miles of their previous homes to giving
residents the first opportunity to buy a park that's for sale. Some residents
say they need more help. "There's over 4, 000 mobile home parks in the state of
florida, and every one of them is in jeopardy of being chased out,"Says leo
plenski, whose homeowners association tried to buy its park in seminole, near
st.Petersburg, but couldn't compete with a developer's higher bid. Bruce savage,
spokesman for the manufactured housing institute, a trade group, says park
owners understand residents' concerns. "We try to encourage state programs that
will assist homeowners with relocation,"Savage says,"But at the same time, we
fully understand the private property rights of these owners, too.It's a real
dilemma. " Personal experience drove oregon state rep.Jerry krummel to introduce
legislation that offers a tax credit to displaced mobile home residents.Krummel
lived in a trailer for 12 years when he couldn't afford a standard home. "I want
to make sure there's real christian
louboutin outlet some kind of protection for them,"He says. In new
hampshire, where more than 25, 000 people live in mobile home parks, a loan
program provides residents with a down payment to buy their communities. Since
1984, 73 mobile home parks in new hampshire have switched from rentals to
residentowned, says paul bradley, vice president of the loan fund. Residents
plan challenge Paradise park residents would like to follow in those footsteps.
Perched alongside sandy hook bay with views of the verrazanonarrows bridge, the
park was sold in 2005 to a developer who also had bought cheap
louboutin shoes an adjacent marina. Homeowners say they received letters
informing them of the sale.Loretta dibble, president of the homeowners
association, says that under new jersey state law, residents should have had a
chance to buy the park. "We have residents who've been here for 40 years,"Says
dibble, 49, a graduate student who has lived in the park for nearly three years.
"We're ultimately trying to challenge the sale of the park, purchase the park
and run it. " The homeowners also are fighting a proposed rezoning of the park
and marina that would allow the building of town houses and businesses.Jim
bollerman, who bought the park and marina, says he has no plans for the park.
"Our focus at this point is on the marina,"Bollerman says. "Any consideration
with regard to the mobile home park will take place after the improvements to
the marina. " The people of paradise park worry the stage is being set for their
ouster. The cluster of 53 mobile homes is a tightknit enclave within highlands,
a former clamming community that is home to roughly 5, 000 residents. Newcomers
have been given oneyear leases, rather than the standard five and 10year
leases.A couple of homes are for sale;The owners are trying to recoup their
investments while they can, dibble says. "My plan is now out the window,"Says
cuneo, 59, who has yet to move into the twobedroom trailer he bought for $16,
000 in november and is renovating. "I'm hesitating about putting my house on the
market.I could sell it and move here, and be out in a year. "
