Petaluma’s Mobile Home Park Crisis | San Jose News

Petaluma’s Little Woods Mobile Villa is at the heart of a high-stakes battle over mobile home park regulations, as owners seek to close the 78-space park—triggering a rare, legally murky process that could displace nearly 100 long-term residents. Amid rising rent control pressures and mounting legal costs, the city races to complete a relocation assessment while residents, many of whom have lived there for decades, face uncertain futures with homes too costly to move. Park owners blame rent controls for making operations unsustainable, while advocates and state lawmakers push back, calling for stronger protections against displacement and accusing management of aggressive tactics. This local showdown mirrors a statewide struggle over affordable housing and the future of mobile home communities.
