And I meant to say Walter is correct as usual...

OMG, this is just a pure display of only caring about ones' self. Pure, unadulterated selfishness. Granted, we all tow our line, we all can only do what we can do, and afford what we can afford. BUT, there is something called sympathy, empathy perhaps for some, but bottom line, how about kindly caring for someone other than your self? We are all entitled to think what we think about this, but these responses are so damn hurtful to the folks who's lives are turned upside right now! Is that the intent folks? To rub your "I can afford to live here" and "better" views in the wounds of these folks? Did you ever think how these posts would make the families that are fighting for their lives feel? Do you even CARE? God, I hope you hope that YOUR families never fall on hard times, and if they do, with your display of nasty, mean feelings towards those that are not in such comfortable situations I hope you do NOT expect one OUNCE of help, sympathy, or even a moment of caring about you.

Do you really think that the residents of the community were thinking they were living high on the hog, screwing all the other Syosset residents out of something by sneeking around everyone and living in the trailor community? Come off it folks. Regardless of how you feel,perhaps expressing it a little more kindly would reflect more positively on you all as people, as humans, as a LI community. Karma is a *itch, and I think that the nasty little comments towards the folks who are struggling are really a very ugly reflection on the attitude of the residents of LI.

But, as they say, money does not equal class, nor tact. Clearly proven on this thread. An eye opener for sure for anyone thinking of moving to LI. This is a great peek into the true attitude of its residents that think that they are all that. One of the many reasons why I, as a native LIer that had no problem economically staying there, choose to take my investment and future and get my family the hell off the Island.

Think what you will about this situation, but think before you spout your hurtful junk to others. Unless, of course, your intent is to as Cow says, "kick um while their down." if that is the case, well than the future really is hopeless.

This has nothing to do with the haves and the havenots..

Lets put it this way, lets say you own a 2 family house, you live on the first floor, and you rent out the 2nd floor. Their lease is up, and you say no lets not renew and just go month to month, 80 years go by, and your grandson now owns the house, and lo and behold, the tenants grandkids still rent, I mean why not, they like the house and the neighbors etc. Well your grandson decides you know, I'm going to get married, and we want a big family, there is no longer room for a 2 family house and my finance wants us to knock it down and build a nice one family colonial. The tenant should be able to say No I've paid my rent, I don't want to uproot my family because my family grew up here?

This was found on the link that the mobile homeowner website provided. The property owners are doing things by the books.

NYS Real Property Law Section 233

The manufactured home park owner or operator proposes a change in the use of the land comprising the manufactured home park, or a portion thereof, on which the manufactured home is located, from manufactured home lot rentals to some other use, provided the manufactured home owner is given written notice of the proposed change of use and the manufactured home owner's need to secure other accommodations. Whenever a manufactured home park owner or operator gives a notice of proposed change of use to any manufactured home owner, the manufactured home park owner or operator shall, at the same time, give notice of the proposed change of use to all other manufactured home owners in the manufactured home park who will be required to secure other accommodations as a result of such proposed change of use. Eviction proceedings based on a change in use shall not be commenced prior to six months from the service of notice of proposed change in use or the end of the lease term, whichever is later. Such notice shall be served in the manner prescribed in section seven hundred thirty-five of the real property actions and proceedings law or by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Ok, then...I love forward to you offering them all a place to park in your yard, driveway, sidewalk. Like previously stated...they had a nice run of it. The owner is looking to make some money now. That's the way it is outside of, say, China. I'm not sure how one would think that the owner does not have a right to do what he or she wants. Sure, there's zoning laws that often times dictate usage, but c'mon. A trailer park in Syosset? It's a shame they have to move, but it's no less a shame than the people moving all over the US b/c they can't afford to live on LI or NYC or whatever high priced area. I can't live on Park Ave., what can you do? I think it's as simple as that. Yes, it would be great if everyone could afford to live wherever they wanted, but that's not life, whether everyone likes it or not.

I think my point has been missed. I stated several times that one may feel anyway they wish about the situation and have their own opinions. My point was the tone and snide comments made to, and about, the residents that are facing this eviction. We, as humans, have the power to communicate by thinking before we speak. We have the power to be kind, yet truthful, when sharing our opinions. Or, if we are unable to muster some kindness we don't have to say anything at all.

I lived on LI for almost 40 years just over the Suffolk line and spent a lot of time in Syosset and I NEVER knew there was a trailor park. And GCGuy, just what do you mean "but c'mon. A trailer park in Syosset?" What are you really trying to say? Too low class for Syosset? Honestly, in my day in my town Syosset was not that highly thought of-school district or not. Nassau County was looked down on by "us" Suffolk County folks. Heck, South Shore was on that same list. And don't even ask what we thought of Garden City! See, it is all attitude and perspective. I understand that many contributing to this thread feel it is not thier problem, they worked hard and can afford where they live and their lifestyle. But does that make it OK to be hurtful to others whom have had harder times?

Reality is most of us, regardless of economic status, could very well be just one serious illness of a family member not covered by insurance, or one earning spouse's death or grave injury, etc. away from getting knocked off our comfortable, stable platform. Bad things do happen to good people, especially considering just how screwed up this country's economic state truthfully is. Regardless of retirement funds, low or no mortgages, fully owned cars, emergency savings funds, etc. we could get jammed up too someday. So, I just ask, is this the way we would want others to treat us if we got into a difficult situation? How would we feel if the world around us told us to take a hike, you are not our problem, who cares if you have to sell your home, can't pay your bills, and give your children the future you want. Who cares if you were once secure, stable, and comfortable and now you are not-go move to a "less-desirable" area, get a job at Micky D's and stop ruining my party by whining and looking for some understanding from me.

That is my only point. Obviously the OP made the thread to let people know what was happening, to try a find some support from perhaps people whom are interested. CD members are free to post whatever they feel, within reason, but why do we have to "kick um while they are down?" Why is it that putting others down makes one feel better so often? This development and trailor park does not affect the posters on this thread, so whatever happens is no skin off our teeth. So why can't we simply say "sorry this is happening, hope you find support but I can't do anything to help you, and good luck" and leave it at that?

I'd like to know where these people plan on taking their trailors. Where do you take a trailor (which is their property)? I know there are those trailor sections on RT 110. But then their children are moved out of district. How on earth do you even go about selling a trailor, and in this market? At least they could have taken the proceeds from that to move to apartments.

Kudo's for this post!

You know this could happen to any one of us tomorrow --scroll the right side of he videos until you find the one titled "The New Homeless" and click on it. Free Video - Business and personal finance news from CNNMoney
I have friends that worked for Bears Stern when it crumbled who went from making a grand living to nada. It could happen to any one of us that tomorrow we could be WISHING we lived in a trailer park! Better than the car this poor lady sleeps in now with her two dogs.

We should never take anyone or anything for granted. Charity begins in your neighborhood

Did the property owners offer the tenants some form of money? If not, they should at least offer them a reasonable amount toward trailers which can't be sold or relocated. It would be a gesture of goodwill and allow the tenants to at least get themselves situated in a rental elsewhere. Maybe there's some tax write off if they do that?

[GigiBowman]

There is someone selling one of the Syosset trailers for $35,000. The buyer has to move it to somewhere else. I can not post the MLS ad on here though I have tried!

There are parks in Riverhead, Jamesport, Amityville, Nesconset, Islip, Holbrook, Hampton Bays, E Quogue, Calverton, Bohemia, Bayshore & Aquebogue,
