Mountain View Corridor

While talking with people Saturday, I met a Lady who's home may be right in the path of the proposed Mountain View Corridor. They don't know if it is or isn't, but that's another story for another time.

The story here is, what if the Corridor is through their property and their home is claimed for the "good of the project." Of course they'll be compensated a fair market value for their home, but will that help them?

Their fear is they’re self-employed and what if they can't secure a new home loan with the tightening of home loans. If this happens they'll lose a home they've renovated and have no home to move into.

While we were discussing this I thought, why couldn't the City / County / State broker a deal with a few home lenders (preferably local) that would secure a loan for anyone who's home is "purchased" for a public project.

No one would like their home taken from them, so when this is necessary (if it really ever is) the respective governing body should be responsible to help a person in this situation into their next home.

I listen and I care.

I believe in one for all and all for one. So if one family / person loses their home for all, then let's all help the one in return.
