  • Good content but it’s too quiet

    This podcast sounds like whispers compared to the other podcasts I listen to. I can barely make out what they’re saying over the rumble of the road while I’m driving. I can’t turn up the volume because once this podcast and the next one ends up being really loud.

Q: And Carly, do we know that parks closing is rare or an outlier in Vermont?
Not entirely rare; there is a growing trend of parks going up for sale, with a notable uptick in 2025 as more owners decide to sell, prompted by aging properties and the complexities of park ownership in smaller communities.
Imminent closure of Fair Haven manufactured home park leaves residents with few options
Q: Okay, so residents here though, they're staring down that eviction in September. How are they faring?
Residents are anxious and uncertain; some have moved close to relatives for affordability, others worry about leaving their homes and livelihoods, especially since the homes are among the most affordable options and now lack a clear plan for relocation or compensation.
Imminent closure of Fair Haven manufactured home park leaves residents with few options
Q: Can you tell us what led us to this particular closure in the first place?
The park has been financially troubled for years, with the estate owing substantial taxes and bills; many owners die and successors struggle to maintain the park, leading to deferred maintenance and reluctance to take over, which ultimately culminated in the decision to close.
Ladies' Day at Vermont Quick Lube
Q: How does it work? Like, what happens?
