Mobile home residents face eviction

Edited on Mon Apr-17-06 06:35 PM by flamingyouth

DALLAS - Residents of an east Dallas mobile home park have mobilized in a protest that ended at Dallas City Hall on Saturday.

Some 52 families at the Ash Creek Mobile Home Park say the City and wealthy neighborhood groups are trying to force them out of an area that has become prime real estate.

Duane McCown says he is facing an uphill battle.

"My wife had a stroke on April 18 of 2003," he says.

1. Oligarchy

That's life in the Bush oligarchy. My town proposed a new park on the edge of town for the low-paid workers here. Wealthy homeowners got it shot down.
The average wage here is about $8.00/hr. and the average rent is $500/mo.
It doesn't make any sense.
