Larry Jackson is an ex-Peace Corp member who lives in a mobile home park in Riverside with his wife Jean. After working his whole life, Larry is now out of retirement and working part time at Castle Park amusement park to make ends meet. If Larry’s mobile home park was not protected by rent control, the Jacksons would not be able to afford to live in their home.

Larry also worries that if Prop. 98 passes, mobile homeowners will face extreme difficulties selling their homes. Once buyers learn rent control will be lifted on the space as soon as the unit is sold, they will no longer be interested and the unit will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars less. Prop. 98 will devastate home owners like Larry by eroding the equity he’s spent years building in his home. 

  “It’s despicable that wealthy landlords are trying to steal hard-earned home equity from vulnerable individuals like myself. I’m afraid if Prop. 98 passes, nobody will want to buy our home, and we’ll have nowhere to go. Voters should reject Prop. 98 to protect people like me.”
