I imagine whatever the terms, you're going to have a vocal group crying foul in a situation like this. To have 3-10 years notice to move and not take any action seems like the behaviour of a struggler of the highest order.
The common comment is that

The promised park never came to be so there's a space shortage.

Some of these tenants had double wide trailers. Most of the parks won't take double wide trailers at all.

The city didn't do a great job of ensuring that there were actually places for these people to go.

A lot of those people that have left, ended up just selling their trailers. There were quite a few that basically walked away and had their homes demolished.

For some of them the bottom line is that they got 10k for destroying their homes because they couldn't move them and they still owe on their mortgage.

The city didn't do their proper diligence on this one.
