Stan Kroenke tells hundreds of fixed income residents in Texas to get off his newly-bought land

11. I'm sorry you don't understand the analogy.

But it's essentially the same thing. Nature and the tides own the beach, and someone who isn't you owns that property in Texas. Assuming the forces that own the two will alter their behavior to suit you and your structure/hopes and dreams is the height of arrogance and stupidity.

Nobody is saying that people don't commonly live on land they don't own. I mean, no shit, right? The difference is, most people aren't so utterly dense that they build permanent structures on the land they live on solely by the permission of the owner, then assume that because they dumped all their money into a house which can't be moved that they're somehow immune from ever having their living situation change. My wife and I rent an apartment. If the developer decides to bulldoze to put in a shopping mall, I don't have a claim on the apartment just because I planted some rose bushes and repainted the spare bedroom. It was never mine, and I entered into the arrangement knowing that.

Nobody ever called needing a place to live stupid. It looks like you're the only person saying that, so you'll have a point to refute that nobody is even trying to make.
