While most home “owners” are nothing less than thrilled about skyrocketing real estate prices, mobile home owners are having the land sold out from under them<\/a> as land owners cash in on Seattle’s bubble.<\/p>\n

Our state is facing a mobile home space crisis. Exploding real estate prices are making the land too valuable for this moderate-to-low income way of life.<\/p>\n

According to state figures, 115 parks have closed in Washington since 1989.<\/p>\n

In the past year, nine parks have sold or are up for sale in the Puget Sound area, where land prices have risen the most.<\/p>\n

Six hundred twenty one families in our area now must find another place to move their mobile homes, 167 in King County alone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess it’s not really surprising, as all sorts of low-cost residential options have been replaced with sardine subdivisions and chicly condos.<\/p>\n
