This is really unfair to those people who experienced it. From a financial sense you are of course right- they got use of a house for “free”. In a human sense, many people lost their homes- they were forced out of the places where the lived, where they’d invested their identity in, time, money, and emotion in decorating and “making their own.” Children were forced to change schools, and adults were essentially publicly shamed.

There were some people who definitely behaved the way you described, but many if not most experienced true suffering in a way that deserves compassion.

Nobody else can make you feel bad. That's one's personal psychological state.
