ORCUTT, Calif. -- Del Cielo Mobile Estates residents are fighting back against new owner Harmony Communities changing the senior park to an all ages community.
The mobile home park has been open as a senior community for people 55 and over since the 1960's.

Am I the only one that has always found it odd that HUD allows you to discriminate based on age? It seems to be completely inconsistent with HUD’s mission and I can’t help but wonder what really happened behind the scenes for it to come about.

You’re going to see more of these cases in the years ahead, because Baby Boomers are shrinking as a demographic and Millennials are growing in stature. When you run ads offering mobile homes for sale in mobile home parks, 9 out of 10 callers are younger than 55. That’s who really needs the bulk of the affordable housing stock in the U.S.
It will be interesting to see how this problem – which HUD created – gets resolved.
