Bradenton Beach trailer park condemned due to storm damage

Residents say everyone living in the park is being forced out, regardless of the extent of damage to their trailers.

[@archdukeofsynth]

Someone's itching to build condos there.

[@TheJanet4321]

Yep. Follow the money...

[@ThreeBrooklynCats]

My thoughts exactly. It's a land grab.

[@menopauseisntforpussies]

You know it! 😢

[@ohdwight]

of course ; the LAND is too valuable for a 20K mobile home ; they could be reaping millions with high price properties built there.

[@KatieB1776]

Land Grab! 🤬🤬🤬

[@fromtheheavenlyrealms8613]

All over the country, and the islands around it.

[@hustlecrowe9440]

LOL. those people don't own that land idiot.

[@ElizabethKlimas]

yes & no it’s not that clear cut - who supposed to pay for all this? Insurance are bailing out. Gov wasted money illegally. Place is on sea level - it will happen again & again & again unless any of these available solutions are put in place.

[@Itsmeagain828]

Yep. Same here in Western NC. But for what's in the ground. Yet the stupid half of the internet says it's misinformation.

[@NikkiWalters653]

Sounds like a city land grab to me

[@g3user1usa]

Big investors want that land for their own future use. Someone got paid to condemn that whole trailer park. There's nothing those residents can do about it except leave. There is going to be plenty of land-grabbing in Florida with house prices falling. Big investors with plenty of capital are going to clean up. Any middle-class or lower-class families are done for in the Florida coastal regions. The big investors are praying for more hurricanes to clear out all those areas so they can get a 50% or 60% discount on that property. That's a sweet deal. Big investors love to see the poor little guys and gals squirm and suffer.

[@Eashlynne]

Who owns the property this park sits on? If its not a new owner I bet you someone offered him stupid money for the land and the city was bought out leading to it being condemned.

[@marshamckee2479]

It all boils down to the almighty dollar... doesn't it !!!!!...with no consideration to the poor elderly folks that live there.

[@TheJanet4321]

I bet you are right - what I was thinking. With just a handful of units damaged, no need to condemn the entire park. Get DeSantis involved to help them - not.

[@joshuaharper4439]

So the two hurricanes didn’t take them out, but now the city is going to take them out. Don’t you think these people have gone through enough?

[@hustlecrowe9440]

Its insane a trailer park is allowed to be built right on the coast like that in the first place.

[@learningearning8385]

Exactly. They are literally on the beach..in a trailer. That’s not dangerous at all… How dare they condemn it?

[@CraigC-h6b]

I always wondered about that whenever I was in Bradenton and drove by some mobile parks sitting right by the water. They shouldn’t allow anymore building on this property. North Carolina stopped allowing it once a home is destroyed by storms. We shall see

[@travelpartnertn37050]

I thought mobile homes built earlier than a specific year were considered “vehicles” and not structures. Someone might be breaking the law by condemning buildings that aren’t really “buildings”.

[@57lsuarez]

I am, is a total heart brake

[@Socratic199]

Gonna keep happening, boss. Storms are only getting angrier and more common. It was always a matter of time. Lack of regulations and taxes are what brought/kept people around. Lacking capacity on all fronts, as a result. Insurance has to rebuild parts of states, a few times a year. Only way to fund that is through customers. Rest comes from the feds, which your dumb leaders keep trying to defund.. All at once. There's like.. 4 lessons in there, somewhere.

when the flooring of a mobile home is saturated it's unstable, there is no real foundation beneath it. I hope these residents had insurance.

[@34kundalini]

Hopefully this brings people together. The issue isn’t the migrants or the ethnicities or the different genders. It is the greed from these corporations. It always has been and always will be. Immoral unethical and selfish practices from soulless entities.

[@zeke5491]

The land is worth a lot more to investors once the trailers are gone.

[@ElizabethKlimas]

Either homes must be elevated 9’ up or protective wall build to stop high tides (not too difficult solution) or both - these are the only solutions & 3rd one is to convert the park to RVS to be driven away during hurricanes time.

[@CraigC-h6b]

Or the city can deny any permits to build homes there ever again.

[@ElizabethKlimas]

@@CraigC-h6b that’s very harsh approach considering that there are solutions & city is responsible for one of them like building simple coastal line wall specially designed to stop hide tide but you still have lots of hurricane’s rain water & wind damages to deal with. Another thing is that there are cities there with hotels, businesses, commercial structures, etc., not only residential places, so are you going to remove everybody? Structures must be elevated from just the hurricane’s rain water alone or super drainage system developed & constructed to handle that much water in short period of time. Than again you have the wind - there are solutions but nobody wants to implement them - geodetic domes are structures to withstand all of this - hurricanes, flooding, wind, tornados, fire, earthquakes, termites, they are energy efficient & if elevated (not 9’) but 4-5’ they should be good especially with the coastal wall or at least big rocks to break up/disrupt the tidal flow back into the ocean instead to the land.

[@CraigC-h6b]

@@ElizabethKlimas whatever. North Carolina did the same. After so many homes being destroyed and rebuilt just to be destroyed again. They have made it a law if you live by the coast and your home is destroyed you will not be allowed to rebuild again.

[@tamril4938]

Desantis promised the land to corporations, condos incoming. Which builder is coming in. Follow the money.

[@CB-ip8wd]

The property owner is cashing out and the tenants dont have much of an option. Other than paying someone to relocate the trailer which is $$$ the vast majority wont be able to afford it and will lose their homes. 😔

[@CraigC-h6b]

The city could be purchasing the land to keep anyone from building on it. But we shall see

You have no idea what you are talking about. Mobile homes are commonplace all over Florida. Florida is where people go to live cheaply. Banning them would leave millions homeless - but I guess they can just live outdoors? The mean comments here really show how heartless society has become. You might as well condemn all the homes in Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach and Anna Maria that are just single story dwellings. Really clean up the place so there is more for the rich people.

[@lplp1546]

@ianjay5301…, Let me enlighten you on what many of you idiots don’t know. George Soros owns the majority of property in the state of Florida that every mobile home is setting on his intention is to remove everyone that is on that property. George Soros is *Now making his intentions a reality. There is no American dream you idiot, the wealthy control everything.
