People who buy trailer homes likely don't have a lot of resources to deal with moving it. You can't exactly pick up a trailer and put it in a suitcase. The City told these people they could move to another location and then changed their minds. I don't know what the legal situation is/was, but it was not a nice way to treat people. I think the City should be treating its citizens better, regardless of whether they have to or not.
My thoughts on the matter would be different if the City had gone ahead and opened the other park or even allowed private developers to do so (as others have mentioned in this thread companies wanted to but weren't approved).
The City offered the $10 000 hoping people would go quietly and this wouldn't become a big news story, because it doesn't look good for the City to drag people out of their homes, regardless of circumstances.
