Florida Mobile Home Park Owner Bans Food/Meal Deliveries To Occupants

[AprilT]

So many are just stuck. They own their coaches and can't afford to move them, or have a place to move them, yet can't afford the outrageous space rents.

This is true, a lot has changed, it wasn't this bad, the market has gone through a long this past decade, it will swing around again, for some it will be too late though for others some will reap the benefits of the the upswing in changes, not just the people at the higher percentile either. Either way, I myself will be moving next year, I refuse to pay another increase, though the location is worth it to some degree, but most of the thrill is gone, I'm ready to move on to a less costly area, this place is expensive by a lot of standards.

One of the things I noticed is that this Glucklich LLC is one of 5 LLCs listed to the owner/manager Tonia Sonju licensed in Florida. Either they are trying to split the liability or they have other properties/business in Florida.

Comments on some of the news articles on this claim this a known slumlord in California although I can't find any citations or articles yet.

This Puts Tonia Sonju as principal: http://www.businessobserverfl.com/s...nvestor-buys-carlyn-estates-mobile-home-park/

It's an investment company, they buy up properties like these all over the place, I don't know if they are slumlords or not. They have no vested interest that I can tell other than to profit off their investment as do most people in the market. I guarantee you the end result will be most people will at some point when it all quiets down be moved to other pastures. That's just the way things work here in FL, the owners in these type of instances usually win out, they know their rights and make full use of them one way or another. That's just the way things go in today's climate and especially as we look at things from a capitalistic standpoint in today's society.

The particular residents in the matter may end up getting their deliveries, but, slowly they will be moved out if that is the goal of the owners of the land/property. I've seen similar hoopla and when revisited some time later when the news die down, the people are eventually relocated with usually with the aid of some charities or govt aide; at least some of the lucky ones don't end up on the street somewhere, it does happen here. It is unfortunate, but, people are disposable is how so many see each other in such situations these days. Your fault is how it goes, don't complain if you don't have as much disposable income to keep up with those at the top of the chain when it's all about growing a portfolio increasing bank holdings in the real estate market.

I agree April, if they want people out, they'll wear 'em down and drive 'em out.

This reminds of the water front mobile park several years ago I think near Palm Beach somewhere where the owners were offered a something like 250,000 each to move out of what was described as a sleepy village. Most residents turned it down not only liking the life but said where would they go in a market with inflationary prices. I know people that bought a 50K beach condo in the 90s offered 250K during the boom that said the same thing-where can I go? I knew an inland resident offered 350k for a 60k house but the investor would only pay if they could get the entire block to sell.

Forced gentrification is like an employer forcing one to quit a job so they don't have to pay unemployment or severance.

Cant be mortgaged because they depreciate like a car.
They're made fairly crappy too,except the newer ones,pre-1990 nothing is a standard size,so windows,doors,sinks all have to be specially ordered or they cost a good bit more.
Lived in one in upstate NY for 17 years,never again.

The main reason I bought our mobile home, in a community, is that we bought the home and the lot. Even though it is a over 55 park, the city owns the streets and maintains them. We borrowed on our place just like buying a regular home. We pay taxes on the lot, very little amount, and can do almost anything to our place without restrictions. We also have a HOA which is not mandatory to join, although to belong, we can use the clubhouse with other members,
We did not want to rent the lot as one is at the mercy of the owners or association. It is happening all around us. The rent is getting so high that folks are selling their homes for half what they paid for them. Luckily, ours holds its value and has increased in value a bit.​

If our country believes in free speech, why do we have phone bills ?

Are you referring to mobile homes or RVs? I believe mobile homes can be financed with a mortgage and any I have ever been inside had standard fixtures. It's been years since I've seen a new mobile home but even 20 years ago they were furnished with "regular" furnishings and appliances. My sister and BIL had a vacation lake house in Florida that was a mobile home and it was extremely nice and well appointed.

Here in Canada mobile homes can be mortgaged also. The home doesn’t normally appreciate like other homes but I don’t think depreciate the same as automobiles do.

Same here as far as I know.
