I don't know why they couldn't just let those few remaining folks live their lives as they saw fit. It's not like it's hurting anyone else. :/ Such a sad story.

City won't let homeowner live with solar power

We're from the Governement, and we're here to help.

Why do people feel the need to CONTROL everybody! I can understand that we need a government as a whole, etc, but, come on, if you CHOOSE to live without electricity from the power company or if you want to live in your home that others deem as unsafe, well, really, who's freaking business is it?! Grr. K, off to lala land, before I go nuts thinking about it.

Personally, I think they should just be allowed to stay. I can never feel taking someone's home is right. But, there is every indication the place is still dangerous. If the remaining residents had died (like that little boy almost did) can you imagine the outcry from everyone- blaming the officials for letting them stay & how those people might be alive if the gov't did 'the right thing' and moved them?
