60. "can get a better situation" yeah, right.
This seems just a frame that's been devised to sell the poor that their forced relocation is for their benefit.

Why not move the wealthiest, and force them to live in a new community with new neighbors? In otherwords, the loss of friendships and community, the people they know in their immediate surroundings, even the "stranger" they see walking down the street at the same time each day, all of this seems a steep "price" extracted, but it's being framed as a "benefit".
