I wonder if the owners in question who were forced to sell under extreme duress for pennies on the dollar to likely the only buyer available would blithely say they "passed their homes to a company". If I were in this grievous situation I would literally be in anguish, suffering significant financial loss and conceivably the death of my retirement dream.
I also wonder if a for-profit house flipping company ever sets out to 'tie things up'. Why would such an outfit do that at some financial cost to itself rather than rehab the houses and profitably resell them as quickly as possible? The tie up is due to the inaction to remediate the sinkhole by the powers that be, whoever and whatever they are.
Whether or not the homeowners "do not need pity" I truly pity them. If this happened to me I would be devastated. These 80+ year old folks likely did not "wish" to move but have been unquestionably forced to do so. I imagine they much more likely would have wished to continue to live out their days enjoying whatever activities they were taking part in prior to their terrible loss. My heart goes out to them and to their neighbors as the whole neighborhood has been adversely impacted.
