I wish to place into the CED record this email. Please post it online in the CED agenda packet for the public to see.
I have listened to the video recording of the 2040 Envision meeting of 6-28-10 which I obtained through a PRA. I was appalled at the elitist and uncaring attitude of some of the Task Force members. Those who did not speak out against them at the time were complicit.
Shame.
Where were the representatives of the mobilehome community? Why was GSMOL, the oldest and largest statewide organization representing the residents, not invited to the table? Why were there no folks whose homes were mocked and denigrated as "trailers" not there? Why were people from the "really small, really antiquated mobilehome Parks that sit up on Oakland Road" shut out?
I transcribed portions of that meeting (#42). In pertinent part:
At 6:24 there are some “really small, really antiquated mobilehome Parks that sit up on Oakland Road. And I don’t think anybody would say that our goal is to go through and keep what’s there the way it is today. So, the question is in order for new investment to come would we want to see that replaced with a residential project or would we want to see it replaced with an industrial project since everything around it is heavy industrial.
We’ve gone and looked at some of these areas and where it’s essentially old camper trailer mobilehome parks were set up as opposed to a traditional MH park. Maybe we should consider putting those back to what the surrounding land use is. It’s one of the things we’re putting forward for discussion in our draft plan for discussion. " 16:59 The city has some very strong policies about preserving MH Parks. “It’s not our goal to change that for those Class A mobilehome Parks that we have around the City.
Fortunately, we have a number of those. But we do have a number of them that are really, they’re in need of investment.”

At 17:56 , laughter about "growing up in a trailer."
These are homes. Their owners should not be mocked and demeaned. Sorry they cannot afford to live in a "Class A Mobilehome Park."
Shame.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. – Desmond Tutu
