Sweetwater

Over the last year, around 900 families have been forced to move out of Sweetwater's Li'l Abner, one of the last remaining mobile home parks in a region that is increasingly unaffordable for many. Roughly 200 families who had stayed put had been given until Tuesday to move out, as demolitions continued in the neighborhood.

At Li’l Abner in Sweetwater, amid protests over contentious evictions and demolitions, residents are now running for city commission seats.
