Here is the clarity of emotion.  That emotion screams for a financial solution on behalf of private property owners that may not now have the resources to pay their liabilities, social costs, and assure their neighbors against death.  It's emotional that the fortunate investors smartly buying a condo in 1970 are now elderly.  Yet, despite our breaking hearts, this logic of emotion doesn't extend to taxpayer mandates.
