“Beat it, grandma! We have better ideas on how to use the land and house you raised a family in!” is unlikely to be a winning campaign platform. (Thankfully.)

All my homies like to let perfect be the enemy of the good.
Is forcing grandma out of her house economically the perfect or the good in this story?
Currently renting retirees are forced out already if they dont pay their rent.
Can you confirm that you wish to see this practice completely banned (i.e. no payment of rent) to prove that you're not taking a two faced stance on this issue?
What we are talking about is different - a tax incentive to move to somebody who has benefitted from a large capital gain.
It would be the thing keeping a good system from being perfect, I believe. Are you not familiar with the idiom?
