This home was hard-won. It took repeated intervention
by the federal courts to vindicate the Hayes family’s right to
their home in the first place. See Society Hill Civic Ass’n v.
Harris, 632 F.2d 1045, 1048-49 (3d Cir. 1980) (recounting
history of three federal litigations and two consent decrees
resulting in creation of this affordable unit). Since this
apartment was built in 1982, the Hayes family have been the
only tenants to live there. And for these 35 years, they have
been “very good tenants,” causing no disturbances, and
drawing no complaints. JA 577-78. Now the federal courts
are intervening once again, but this time, rather than
vindicating the Hayes family’s rights, we are rubbing out
statutory text and ignoring Congressional intent, leaving them
subject to the whim of their landlord. Congress told the Hayes
family that they “may elect to remain” at 538B Pine Street. Yet
now they are being forced to leave. I dissent. 28
