After reading this thread, hearing about the situation affecting the Pleasure Point neighborhood, knowing that many PP mobile homes are on independent septic systems without issues, seeing the Outlook’s newspaper article, sensing the heart ache of the PP residents and reading the letter from the “lady” at PP Park---many additional thoughts come to mind.  if the consortium (Heath Department, APCo, PP master leaseholder and maybe RL) has this much power to quickly end the lives of good law abiding middle class Americans living in PP---why would anyone ever trust APCo to rent/lease one of the many other leased properties around the Lake? What’s next…could someone always complete a better undisclosed deal with APCo power brokers and have any leased lot revoked? Why would any retiree come to Tallapoosa County after seeing how it allows the mega giant Corporations/local government agencies to treat its residents, especially the ones that are retired and afforded to live in a mobile home?? Even if the course continues to end PP without any prescribed recourses---shouldn’t APCo assist these residents in moving, offering another lease option around the Lake or in the helping cover some portion of the loss in their investments? After all---i think we all see how PP residents got here---APCo either intentionally/or unintentionally created a false sense of status quo since the MHP had existed for nearly 50 years, APCo---a “fair and trusted company” owns the land leased to PP Park and Marina,  APCo representatives many times over permitted these PP residents to make investments in permanent structures over/around the water and to build permanent improvements attached to/around their MHs on the sub-leased lots and since APCo has continuously operated as a land leasing company for many additional residents around the Lake. Given these apparent facts, i truly see how owner residents at PP possessed a strong sense of security in their investments and felt if they paid their lease amounts, the future was secure.  APCo should be ashamed of this treatment created direct/indirect by their hands and should give serious consideration to protecting their reputation by establishing how they can help these park residents out of a bad situation they either directly or indirectly played a major part in creating. if indeed septic systems are problematic within specific locations around the Park, the Health Department and APCo should have already forced improvements in PP and anywhere else that issues exist and we should be reading about how options are being explored to correct the situation for good of all neighbors.
