"PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — When Gadiel Galvez learned that the owner of his mobile
home park south of Seattle was looking to sell, he and other residents worried
their largely Latino community would be bulldozed to make way for another
Amazon warehouse.
So, they decided to form a cooperative and buy their park in Lakewood,
Washington. With help from a nonprofit that advises communities like theirs and
helps them secure loans, they bought it for $5.25 million. Since becoming
owners in September, everyone’s worked to make improvements."
