El Portal Mobile Home Park Closing

Research by LSSR investigators and others has revealed a range of variables - regulatory, political, socio-economic - that suggests continuing reductions in the number of mobile home parks in urban areas. As they are converted to other uses, some mobile home park operations will move to other locations, probably in less urban areas and in locations less desirable to developers or re-developers. Other mobile home parks that cease operations in their current urban locations will not resume business elsewhere. In both cases but particularly the latter, the lives of residents are affected and the changes can be extremely stressful, socially and economically.
