No, because the concept really didn't exist back when this park (and pretty much all trailer parks) was built.

Part of the reason we even HAVE the concept of needing to build affordable housing is that we've slowly choked off things like this, with very little complaint from the public. But anyone who doesn't see that trailer parks are affordable housing hasn't done much real estate shopping in their lives. By some measures they're the most affordable housing in existence. Seriously, not that many years ago you could buy one for under $50,000 - find me ANYTHING within 50km of Calgary for that cheap. Unless the rent is $10,000/month on the land, they blow the pants of any condo/townhouse/whatever "official" affordable housing the City is constructing.

Cost to the resident yes, but what about cost to the city, maintenance on the park is clearly an issue.

Not sure I really trust a layman's opinion of the state of the infrastructure beneath their feet. Also it seems that if council could have done something to keep the people there they would have given the controversy that this has created over the years.

Yes, but only 22 of the residents are actually CHC low income subsidized "clients".

All residents however will receive compensation and resources have been put in place for one-on-one consultation to assist with relocation needs.

I don't think people realize how bad the infrastructure situation is there, and how difficult it is to fix while a mobile home is operating.

The City claims to not want to put the cart before the horse, ie: not want to consider future land use of the property before it assists the residents in finding them new homes. But didn't we hear in recent months/years that there was a developer interested in the land? Makes sense then that the City is in a position to serve notice on these folks.

Also, did a drive by the former RCMP site next to Midfield. Why not have an affordable housing project built there? Or is that not financially viable either?

Wow, launching right into a trailer trash joke. It's nice to know exactly where you're coming from.

There is a difference in how a private sector landlord and a public sector housing agency might reasonably be expected to operate. if you are going to feign ignorance to the not so nuanced differences between the private and public sector, I have better things to do than pretend to rehash Grade 6 Social Studies to you.

The only people I have seen say that is park residents, who have used the line for a decade. That is a pretty patient interested party when there are lots of sites in the 'Mr. Sub' class along 16th.

Thanks for the clarification.
