Residents fight to save mobile home park from displacement

During a recent government meeting, community member Juan voiced concerns regarding the displacement of residents from a mobile home park in Northwest Miami. He highlighted the demographic of the park, which includes many elderly individuals and people with disabilities, emphasizing that they have long considered this community their home.

Juan explained that the residents are not against development but are worried about the impact of a new luxury development project planned for their area. He expressed frustration over the rising costs associated with the new administration's policies, which he claims have led to increased rent and a lack of affordable housing options.

Having worked in construction for over 30 years, Juan underscored the importance of fair treatment for the residents, many of whom are facing potential displacement without adequate compensation or settlement. He urged the Miami government to intervene and protect the rights of the community members, advocating for a solution that balances progress with the needs of existing residents.
