UCI Trailer Park Not So Temporary
Re “Trailer Dwellers May Lose UCI Home,” May 17:
A little clarification could go a long way toward understanding our effort to keep our homes.
When the first trailer dwellers occupied UCI, they acquiesced in the designation of the trailer park as a temporary use of university land.
But for the last decade, at least, university officials haven’t given incoming residents any notice that the park could be closed. And 20 years is a whole lot of temporary.
At this time in the trailer park’s history, on this tiny bit of university land, reasonable expectations of student residents outweigh mantra-like references to the university’s master plan.
