Mobile Home Residents Lose In Courtroom

The Ventura County Superior Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the residents of Canejo Mobile Home Park against the City of Thousand Oaks, California.

The residents had filed a suit seeking more relocation money, as the park is being re-developed and all residents must move out. A City of Thousand Oaks ordinance that required higher amounts was removed after similar ordinances in other cities were struck down in court. The residents were suing to try and get the ordinance reinstated, despite the fact that case law showed it to be illegal.

The residents had a 90 day timeline to file the suit and serve the city, but failed to meet that deadline. As a result, the judge dismissed the suit.

Frank & Dave’s Opinion of This Story:

You’ve gotta love mobile home park residents. Not only is their lawsuit stupid- asking a court to reinstate an ordinance which the court has already found to be illegal- but they can’t even file it on time. Bet they probably wouldn’t have missed the deadline if it was for NASCAR tickets or a knife show- or just a sale on Budweiser.

    It may be the case that they did everything wrong in filing & the whole procedure, but that doesn’t mean you have to be an ASS about it.

    Based on Frank & Daves opinion of this story they seem to think that Mobile Home Park Residents are Beer Drinking Trailer Trash. I agree from the atricle it is hard to understand the suit but the sterotype applied to the residents is unacceptable.
