Pacifica Tribune/Jane Northrop, 11/5/13. "Mobile home owners face more than double rent increase."
| What could possibly go wrong? |
.... The park owner justifies the
request for the increase based on costly improvements to the park,
including a $1.5 million revetment, a new fence and landscaping and
plans to upgrade all the utilities in the park, beginning with the sewer
work going on now. " Read article.

This time, high waves have already damaged two mobile homes on a bluff, at the Pacific Skies Estates Mobile Home Park. It's less than two miles away from some threatened apartments on Esplanade Avenue. Several powerful waves washed over boulders and one of them slammed into a mobile home. The impact of that wave damaged part of the skirt." Note: the above photograph (4 of 5 photos) is from this ABC article.

That's ok. Most of the homeowners and renters in this trailer park will be evicted due to the huge rent increase.
Decisions, decisions. Protect the property from erosion or let it fall into the sea? Before the cost falls on the taxpayers, seems like we might give the property owner a chance to salvage his property and recoup his costs to do so.
That March 2010 threat due to high surf was only one of s series of previous storms that damaged that mobile home park. I worked with a guy who lost his mobile home I believe back in the 80's. Think there were a couple more rows (streets) of trailers before that big storm hit.
Isn't the Pacific Skies Park directly across from that property at Beach Blvd and Paloma where plans are to build a 9 unit condo complex with "underground" parking? Perhaps the erosion will be guaranteed to by pass that property. There's an investment i wouldn't be interested in.
Mortals invest and Mother Nature laughs.
