You yourself may not qualify as sympathetic enough a character, but "little old ladies getting evicted by the city" might be good enough to get some media coverage.
"Millie has been living in this apartment for 25 years and now she's being evicted..." or "Tammy, a single mother of 3 children, lives in the area because it's a short bus ride to the children's hospital, where her son Bobby requires twice-weekly dialysis treatments, doesn't know where she is going to live".
That kind of thing is on TV all the time.
