Displacement and evictions have and continue to happen. I know too many people who have been impacted to know its very real. To pretend that its not occurring or that adding 6550 more workers won't have an impact on local housing or traffic is ludicrous. This situation already feels like a Dystopian novel where people in power keep telling you that you don't know what you know.
