<br /> He said that the landlord }td said thai he was going; to destroy these homes
<br /> anyway and that the City couldn ' t stop it . The landlord Yhad been subsidizing
<br /> his tenants since 1966 , he said , and he could have raised the rents and knocked
<br /> these people out a long time ago .

<br /> the zoning warranted City relocation action .

<br /> Sylvester McGuire ss id that it has a.lw ly 3 been a policy.cy. of the City to re'2,cme
<br /> for business and it ' s always the people , not business , who have the problem of
<br /> x'e]oc. at o)1 . Zoning is ore of the most important powers of a city, he sa:i d .
<br /> Business is going to expand , because the City s :::,; s we need business , he said ,
<br /> but there is no more low-income housing . Even if Sunset moved , he said , the
<br /> people who work there could drive back and forth to work .
<br /> Chairman Kech].e • said that . the low-income people who work nt Sunset don ' t have
<br /> transportation .
<br /> Mary Henderson said that Sunset , too , had been given a notice of ev ict.icn . This
<br /> is not tin expansion progran for Sunset , she said . They are in the same position
<br /> as the residents . But the :landlord changed his thinking , appRrently .
<br /> Myron I{'iiene said that he hoped Sunset paid their workers a fair enough wage that
<br /> they could afford transportation . He said that rather tllp:)) :looking at the
<br /> problem as if someone must, suffer , he thought the City could have Sunset and
<br /> Dukor and still relocate the six families . Besides , he said , the landlord wants
<br /> the warehouse because ha is only looking to see v b' Lt he can do with his excess
<br /> property . As far as Sunset is concerned , there is available warehousing space
<br /> and industrial land in the nearby neighborhood between Ge)nco and the Expressway .
