After reading this thread, hearing about the situation
affecting the Pleasure Point neighborhood, knowing that many PP mobile homes
are on independent septic systems without issues, seeing the Outlook’s newspaper
article, sensing the heart ache of the PP residents and reading the letter from
the “lady” at PP Park---many additional thoughts come to mind. if the consortium (Heath Department, APCo, PP
master leaseholder and maybe RL) has this much power to quickly end the lives
of good law abiding middle class Americans living in PP---why would anyone ever
trust APCo to rent/lease one of the many other leased properties around the
Lake? What’s next…could someone always complete a better undisclosed deal with
APCo power brokers and have any leased lot revoked? Why would any retiree come
to Tallapoosa County after seeing how it allows the mega giant
Corporations/local government agencies to treat its residents, especially the
ones that are retired and afforded to live in a mobile home?? Even if the
course continues to end PP without any prescribed recourses---shouldn’t APCo
assist these residents in moving, offering another lease option around the Lake
or in the helping cover some portion of the loss in their investments? After
all---i think we all see how PP residents got here---APCo either
intentionally/or unintentionally created a false sense of status quo since the MHP
had existed for nearly 50 years, APCo---a “fair and trusted company” owns the
land leased to PP Park and Marina, APCo representatives
many times over permitted these PP residents to make investments in permanent
structures over/around the water and to build permanent improvements attached
to/around their MHs on the sub-leased lots and since APCo has continuously
operated as a land leasing company for many additional residents around the
Lake. Given these apparent facts, i truly see how owner residents at PP
possessed a strong sense of security in their investments and felt if they paid
their lease amounts, the future was secure. APCo should be ashamed of this treatment created
direct/indirect by their hands and should give serious consideration to protecting
their reputation by establishing how they can help these park residents out of
a bad situation they either directly or indirectly played a major part in
creating. if indeed septic systems are problematic within specific locations
around the Park, the Health Department and APCo should have already forced
improvements in PP and anywhere else that issues exist and we should be reading
about how options are being explored to correct the situation for good of all
neighbors.
