Won't somebody think of the trailer-living highway folks?

Developer seizes land under mobile homes:

A new property owner took over [Lakewood Mobile Court] on Sept. 30 and distributed notices the same day. Residents were told they have one year to leave before the park shuts down.
. . . [M]any of the 30 mobile homes at the park are too old and decrepit to be taken away; half were built around three decades ago or earlier, according to the city. Hilsinger said his probably would collapse if moved.

Some Lakewood leaders fear closures like this one could become more of a trend as neighborhoods improve, making the land more lucrative to developers

Love that Lakewood city government -- living in fear of improved neighborhoods and lucrative development. Sigh.
