people know people here when everybody was here and everybody be outside walking around walking their dogs you know just enjoying you know so yeah. it was like a small little community hidden and see right it's not easy to go in here so you are in clip this with a screwdriver ok it used to be pewter for going here we used to have yard inspections and you know you'd have to make sure that your guy was better than the lady down the street. want to talk about low income housing. you know probably doesn't have much of the early a lot of people in calgary make

a lot of money saw last month. i've been here thirty eight years i'm ninety two years old then they give me bitch a notice. we were given no choice. i had a couple of seeds in an envelope and i didn't know what i was for i planted it it took a while to come up but it's a nice plant. you know i'm in my eighty's and i don't plan on getting read.

my own like my daughter said to me one time she jokes with me all the time my youngest daughter she said dad give me some of your money i said why she said you can take and what you i said then i'm not going. they want this land some people are estimating it's worth ninety million some are saying sixty million. things is my home. i spent twenty five thousand dollars last year put in a new roof and upgrading the whole thing new siding. and fourth just walk away with it you know i mean it doesn't make sense if you play nice and walk all over you. everything that's going to save us is fresh in the media you know you have to embarrass. the future of midfield park has been up in the air since the early two thousand when concerns surfaced over failing water and

sewer lines and you cannot fix the sewer pipes without removing the house because of the way the result of oprah built that land the land is city owned and civic officials would prefer the valuable property to be used for high density mixed use developments there this is going back to two thousand and six rudy predator leads a community co-op and as he watches his property value drop creditors says there's only one deal he will accept to get out of here and leave us alone. there tellin everybody in the city that day infrastructure is falling apart. that's a big lie. i've tried to tell our people here if you're home and say anything to you you have to fight for if you're not willing to fight for your home you don't deserve a. very

. take a very very moving we found nothing. thank you for leaving off and. go from the start back to john

byrne and. you're moving but only where you're going i want to place up right here right now. this last paperwork shows read on it that if you're not out by the end of september they're going to take forcefully take you out of your home change a lot and you're done and you don't get no money i don't know what the going to do the deal he's going to be sure they're all going to be demolished and whatever you got to get them all you know i have no record where. i can go i can go to. both the builder of the new park and

how it started and we're going to bill you a new park and fit into one of their own to show me a picture of a little leak in the middle and all this in the little fountains you know and all of us have now build a new park. that's here. we go. this tree here i planted that one at a one time about a foot and a half high. and there was no bag pass here so i wasn't worried about his getting wrecked in the city one day is going to come in here and hit my tree with a bulldozer. as well and i look at the golf course i say you got three four hundred people live in this park and you've got six people on the golf course cover now

about five thousand acres. and they have no place for a. ridiculous. i'm not telling them to remove the golf course. i'm telling i'm terry moved themselves from our way of life if they don't like it don't treat us like trailer trash. well the thing is they promise a. new park to move to and then we're going to all of them so that you know if i make a promise to the city they damn well help make me live up to it. and you've got a manager i'm going not going door to door you got to get out by the end of the month there's caring people. when i was a kid moving from farm an apartment and losing your stuff it's not

a big deal but when you're in a home and you've accumulated so much stuff and you have stuff from your family that they passed on and you can't take with you know it's hard for wealth is what you are not with how. if you believe anymore. there's quite a few people in here the things that they're just to be able to walk up to a lawyer and fight to stay in here and really show you what he's had for for we're going to say this part we're going to say this part. is going to be taken period. you're a loser who. there is no more fight. there is no more time.

to be made i used to keep my grasp of the fence was i but after what they did get about this don't do nothing. of my part. found one that i will take. in. ready to go. i can move at any time now pretty much. to bunker basement apartment. one bedroom. i'm going from two feet above ground zero

four feet below that right now and two feet above ground with this curtain. and i'm going to go into the bank are going to be down all you can see is my head. but i'll get used to it you know you know. this move. i have to take what the majority do i mean i can't not one man is going to take on the fady. i'm watching the interviews that you've been doing and i don't know i'm still trying to figure out what i can do to help others and just write like what are you hoping for radio compensation fair value then i got to go by. i want my home. yes certainly people ask you why you haven't started the last i don't know much. money.

to close midfield we. had to give one year's notice we said that wasn't fair we gave three. no compensation is payable we said that was fair so everyone's getting ten thousand dollars cash plus help with their moving expenses plus of course they still own their homes. so of the hundred and eighty three homes at midfield i believe about one hundred fifty to. forty i have plans to move before the end of the month about ten we have not heard from yet. i.

i. can't. believe. you know i know they've got to put a fence around they've got. to be able. to give you that closed in feeling for sure. takes away the scenery you know we pay an extra fifty dollars in rent here look at the scenery and they've been.

a year ago i was i had started to have pains and everything then i finally got checked out and after a month or so of diagnosis and stuff found out i had stomach cancer. so i went back to work and said well i can't work now because i've got other issues to deal with then left work and came home here and i walked into the front door and that's when our notice was on the front door saying that we have to leave here at the end of september so then i just kind of threw it out a side to side other issues to work on high now because i was in a lot of pain and everything so we got through that and i got to get through this.

deme braun just came out of the courtroom where they are arguing he's on medium he's a person who could be go funny page for those of you who wanted to help fund the

action and i'm if i know what exactly happened there dean brown thanks so much for joining us thanks for calling in it's been a great morning so tell us what happened when we went into the court and the are to learn to gauge match or else he's arguing with the city that we're going to delay it until november twenty second so the residents who want to remain there are free to remain there until november no no right on so no objection on september thirtieth no objections september thirtieth. they know they've got a fight on their hands because before i take ten thousand dollars i put a match to it as a joke it's a stir up a hornet's nest and that's exactly what it's going to do if you've got the public behind that and everything straight. presidents now have a lawyer working on their behalf matthew farrel took the park president's case to court today at

a hearing both in november farrel will argue the city's reasons for addicting the residents crumbling water and sewer infrastructure goes against the provinces mobile home site tenant. i was on the streets when you. were here to go in front of the judge and find out which way things are going to go hard feeling about you. i always feel good about another one i wouldn't be here.
