Podcast Overview

Not Mobile is a podcast about people in my hometown (Northfield, Minnesota) and across the state who are fighting to protect their communities and one of the most important forms of affordable housing: manufactured home parks. Nationally, corporations and private equity firms have bought up manufactured home parks and are squeezing money out of the residents: residents who are often low income, immigrants, working families, or people on fixed income (disability and Social Security). In April 2022, Lakeshore Management Inc, a company that consistently increases rent while cutting amenities, bought the manufactured home park Viking Terrace in Northfield, Minnesota. This series highlights the residents, lawyers, community leaders, and local and state officials who are fighting back against Lakeshore and fighting for the right of everyone to have a safe, affordable community to call home.

In this third and final episode of "Not Mobile," you'll meet residents of other Lakeshore parks who have faced tremendous personal and financial challenges because of Lakeshore's management.

Ep. 1: Don't Sign Anything

In this first episode learn about Viking Terrace, a manufactured home park in Northfield, Minnesota, that was bought by Lakeshore Management in April 2022. Lakeshore immediately raised lot rents $65, from $420 to $485 (15%), and tried to get residents to sign a new lease that likely violated Minnesota law. The lease included 35 pages of strict rules like: children can't play in yards of other homes, residents must maintain trees in the park, residents cannot "loiter" outside their homes after 10pm, and more. Meet the residents of Viking Terrace and community organizers who reacted quickly to Lakeshore and formed a Resident Association to fight back.
