GSMOL (the Golden State Manufactured-Home Owners League) is the statewide organization for manufactured and mobile home owners. Our membership numbers are part of what gives this coalition standing — with the City, and with the other Encinitas parks we're trying to bring in. It takes a few minutes.
Our single, specific ask of the City is that a manufactured-home fairness ordinance be placed on a Council agenda as a Council-Initiated Item. Here's how residents are helping make that happen:
Come to the All-Parks meeting on Monday, Sept 21 and, if you're able, the sit-down with Mayor Ehlers on Tuesday, Sept 22. Numbers in the room matter.
A short, personal note to your district's councilmember asking them to support agendizing a fairness ordinance carries real weight. See the City Council roster to find your representative.
City Council meetings include time for public comment. A resident's two or three minutes, in their own words, is often more persuasive than a long letter.

Sample message to your councilmember
“My name is [your name], and I live at [your park name] manufactured home park in Encinitas. I'm asking you to support placing a manufactured-home fairness ordinance on a City Council agenda as a Council-Initiated Item. Residents in Encinitas's manufactured home parks own our homes but rent the land under them, and we can't simply move elsewhere when space rent goes up. A fairness ordinance would restore some balance to that relationship. Thank you for considering this.”
Use this as a starting point and add your own experience — personal details make the biggest difference.
