The landlord of Sahara Mobile Park is John Vividich. The man inherited alot of retail shopping centers and other property from his father. Why should the county pay to improve his property. He should pay for moving those other mobile homes it's his fault for not fixing the problem. As a ex-tenant of one of his shopping centers, he has no compassion. He owns a mansion in Los Altos Hills. He doesn't care about where these poor people will live or what happens to their homes.

If the park owners don't want to maintain the creek, maybe they could give up creek ownership and donate it to the County?

Also, isn't the mobile park owned by John Vidovich of farm subsidy fame?

Is he really now angling for another tax funded (water district) handout?

I sympathize with the unlucky people whose mobile homes have been endangered by the creek's erosion; I even sympathize with the landlord who is responsible for an expensive repair job. (The alternative would be abandoning a significant part of his property, an equally expensive financial burden.)

But I don't agree that they deserve taxpayer funds to pay for, or help pay for their recovery.

John Vidovich, the millionaire real estate developer and top recipient of farm subsidies, is the owner. His family’s real estate company, De Anza Properties, has built office complexes, condominiums, mobile home parks and hotels. He and his wife, Lydia, live not in a farmhouse but in a Los Altos Hills home valued at $11.4 million.

You can look up his farm subsidies at the Environmental Working Group web site.
