Comment on Developers promised Iowa City mobile home residents new homes. That was 17 months ago

IOWA CITY — Last week’s snowfall was short-lived, but served as a reminder that wintry weather is not far away.And with the return of cold weather comes fresh concerns about the condition of housing in the Forest View mobile home community near Dubuque Street and Interstate 80. Margarita Rosquero, vice president of the Forest View Tenants Association, said homes in the park are in disrepair and she worries how they will fare this winter.“I am very concerned because a lot of homes’ roofs are caving in and just the uncertainty of falling asleep one day and a snow-covered roof caving in is very worrisome,” said Rosquero through an interpreter.
