Reply #125: Haven't been down on K street in awhile but last I was in Sacto

near UCDAVIS MED, I was rather uncomfortable. A lot of tension and "discontented" individuals roaming around.

I think the thing that has changed with the SC decision is that it's brought the disgraceful practice of displacing people for pure profit motive, out of the closet. I can just hear the wheels turning in some organizations boardroom. I can "feel" the hands rubbing together. 'Oh goodie, we've been give free reign and nothing or no body can stop us now.' Instead of improving/upgrading areas of poor, lower income residents, they can just force them to LEAVE..let them run for cover like a bunch of cockroaches. NO HOLDS BARRED now.

ANYTHING that displaces people who are barely hanging on by a thread for purely private enterprise is rotten to the core. Even for those who are displaced for acceptable reasons such as roads, sewers etc SHOULD be compensated by enough financial recompense so as to be able to purchase a dwelling elsewhere. For the poor, disabled, aging population, they should fully compensate AND relocate to establish those folks AT COMPANY EXPENSE. <----That would be decent

I live at the bottom of the social ladder on a fixed income. We are a family of aging disabled folk. We cannot find housing for RENT even in the proverbial "Ghetto". Hell will freeze over before we ever climb UP AND OUT of this situation. So when I hear of folks being displaced for corporate reasons when affordable housing is so rare................I revolt.
