Nancy Federico, 77, has lived at her apartment on La Playa Street, behind the motel, for 43 years and has an ocean view. When the building goes up, she won’t be able to see the ocean anymore.
“I moved here for that view,” said Federico. “I pay for that view, and then you want to take it away from me and give it to somebody else? How are you going to compensate me? You’ve got to compensate me, or do I have to file a lawsuit?”
The lawsuit counter is that way, ma’am. 
Meanwhile my town keeps converting old schools into luxury apartments that go for 50% more than the area average rate. They take away the nice parks and stuff and build big fences around them so only residents can get in. Plus they aren't building new schools, just closing the old ones, so yeah we're doing great
