Harold Allen thought he’d live in his single-wide mobile home forever. He added so many flourishes — marble floors, multi-colored driveway, a new deck, an elaborate outdoor waterfall — he’d poured $150,000 into it by the time he was finished.
Now Broward County wants to tear it down.
Allen and his neighbors at Ocean Waterway Mobile Home Park found out about a month ago that their Dania Beach community will be in a high-noise zone when the new airport runway opens. Their manufactured homes cannot be soundproofed. So Broward County airport officials want them gone.
