Moble Home Blues


I was at the Millville City Commission meeting last night. We were there to get a certificate for our plantings at our home. It was nice to be recognized and to see others who are keeping their homes green.
We had to leave the meeting but in the confort of our home, saw folks fired up about a proposed city fee on Mobile Home parks such as Holly Village. I was shocked that the folks who run the place and collect the average $390 land rent pay LESS THEN $200 per YEAR for city services. So I gather that they are making a tidy sum. How tidy you ask. According to Mayor Quinn's estimate based on 220 homes they make about $90,000 PER MONTH!! Right now the city charges a $20 fee on each homeowner at moble home parks. After hearing many folks speak of the hardships, the Commisson defeated the proposal. They stated that this issue would be revisited.
Umm could the owners of these parks sell out and then have condo's in 10-20 years??

90,000 dollars a month! That is just wrong! So very wrong! I bet those owners have a couple fancy homes down at the Jersey shore, hell maybe even Miami beach! Who would have thought the owners of Holly Viallge are loaded beyong the brim! 90,000 a month in profit? That makes me ill.
