Also, I think you are being rather arbitrary in arguing the city has any greater responsibility beyond the end of the lease than any other land owner would beyond the end of a lease.

Three years is meaningless when there is no where to go. And 20k is meaningless when you only get to keep 10k and your property is legitimately worth way more. If there were actually alternative for these people I'd totally agree.
The whole reason its been three years, and in fact, closer to ten years in total, is because the city knows and agrees it has to act differently than a private landlord. If they said in 2006, "We're going to give you 10k and directions to the Mustard Seed in 2017, I guarantee you beyond any shadow of a doubt people would have responded accordingly and the city would have lost out on loads of revenue.
