Pictures from Brookside Mobile Country Club

The following pictures are from one of our sister parks...Brookside Mobile Country Club.  I'm not joking, "country club" is part of the name.  Tatum and Kaplan own this park and I am told that it was once a very nice park prior to their ownership.  At this time, many of the space rents far exceed $1500.00 per month and the park now abounds with a number of vacant homes and vacant spaces.  Imagine the difficulty of living in this park and trying to sell your home when empty dirt lots and boarded up homes surround you.  These empty dirt lots and boarded up homes in my opinion add up to slum-like conditions.  What do you think?





 

 





A lobbyist for the California Mobilehome Parkowners Alliance claimed in front of an Assembly Housing Committee that Tatum and Kaplan are "extremely sophisticated property owners."  Look at these picutres.  Look around your Tatum Kaplan owned park.  Does it look like Tatum and Kaplan are "extremely sophisticated property owners?" Do our state representatives actually buy into CMPA's lobbyists' claims?  They need to visit our parks to see what is actually taking place.
