The displaced people still have to live somewhere, even if the bougies like to pretend otherwise.

Everyone has to live somewhere. The idea that those who were lucky enough to be born somewhere that's become desirable are entitled to live there forever at low cost, while those who were born elsewhere can never be allowed to buy a home there, has always struck me as odd.
There's no "displaced" people if the space was unused for 40 years.
It wasn't even residential it was an industrial area
