Regarding the Dec. 15 article, “Santa Barbara City Council Puts Temporary Stop to Changes at Flamingo Mobile Home Park,” the council’s decision to enact an emergency moratorium that prohibits the owners of the Flamingo Mobile Home Park to allow people of all ages to reside there raised two interesting points.
First, Councilman Eric Friedman’s comment that the owner’s intent to allow all ages to live in the park is somehow discriminatory to seniors is, to use his own words, a non sequitur.
If the seniors were to be
disallowed to live there, then that would be discriminatory. But to expand eligibility to all ages is definitely not discriminatory. If anything is discriminatory, the current situation discriminates against nonseniors.
