Does anyone know if the guy received compensation? The contractor should have been forced to build a brand new house for him. Thank goodness the demolition didn't take place after his family moved in. They would have lost all their posessions. What a nightmare that would have been.

What the fuck? Our government is so god damn stupid, his house was demolished and yet the City Council leaves him homeless and won't give him a home like he deserves? Shit, I can see this guy suing them for a million dollars right about now.
