    Guess you only read what upsets you.

    Yes, if their own wellbeing isn’t dependent on that property, with a reasonable compensation for their loss.

    You want hard numbers from people who don’t have hard numbers, who didn’t take statistics, economics or specialize in this domain. If you want hard numbers, go get them from where they’re available and accurate, talk to the people who can give you exact results, in percentages or whichever method you need. Then come back and let us bunch of morons reject it all on the basis that the numbers are rigged.

    Let’s keep it simple here. The owner wanted to evict an old lady. 93 years old. Was she rich and just didn’t want to pay or was she poor and wasn’t able to pay? Was she able to go somewhere else specific or was she to be thrown out in the street without a care? The context matters. Here, it’s the difference between losing a potential income and likely causing someone’s death. There’s no contest on what the priority should be. Don’t like it, raise hell with those in power, not the powerless.
