‘It seems like you just fall through the cracks': Resident explains what life has been like at Edison Mobile Home Park
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — It's been over two months since the deadly fire at the Edison Mobile Home Park and on Monday, resident Susan Hill told her story on how the park has changed over the years. Susan Hill came to Bakersfield in 1981. She worked as a registered nurse at Kern Medical for most of her life, retired and lives off Social Security. She was evicted from her home and struggled to find a permanent place to stay. 'It seems like you just fall through the cracks, you know,' said Hill. 'Motels suck your money dry, and then you end up being homeless or people take advantage of you.' The landlord of the park at the time, offered Hill a trailer for $400 a month. It's the trailer she lives in now. The trailer's floors have holes and there is open insulation in the walls. What may be mold covers the walls and the ceilings. Common roommates are cockroaches and rats. Tiger cub believed offered for sale in Kern County: warrant She said, once the new owner started tearing down trailers, the infestation ramped up. 'In the last two months, I've had my mouse population and rat population explode in my trailer,' said Hill. 'So, that's off the hook.' With no power, Hill's been using a small gas generator. It can run only lights, small appliances and charge her phone. She can't keep food fresh, because the generator can't give enough power to her refrigerator. 'I'd be glad to see an electric bill again actually,' said Hill. 'It's been expensive to run it on gas.' Hill lives on $1,500 a month from Social Security. She says that almost everyone at the Edison Mobile Home Park is on a fixed income. 'We are in extreme poverty. I would say that. I would say we have a low-income profile here,' said Hill. 'I'll tell you I get $1,500 a month. I would say that's more than a lot that people get.' Even with how bad things are right now, the new owner's renovations makes Hill want to stay. 'I would like to stay out here. Yeah, and if not, then I'm looking for a place to relocate,' said Hill. 'But, at the moment I'm kind of waiting to see what happens.'
