If these leftists actually had the compassion they claim to have in building government housing (instead of giving people vouchers with which to obtain private housing) they would have sent somebody out to work with the residents and help them meet “legal” requirements while keeping any practical accommodations that would not truthfully impinge on those requirements.
But due to the best instincts from their lack of true compassion, they sent someone out to simply demand the government be obeyed, period. In truth, the people got what they asked for - government control of their lives. One can have sympathy for their current problem, but not the original error.
I wish I could say, “Sir, it’s not YOUR house, it’s the people’s house. You are not entitled, but we are being very generous with the entitlements.”
