CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP

A story in the San Francisco Chronicle detailed the plight of several elderly citizens being evicted from their apartments. Many of them have lived there for years. If you have ever thought that mankind is pretty selfish, this is the example. 

The Aunt left the property to a niece who works for UC Irvine studying people older than 90 — what the university calls “the oldest-old” — and what types of food, activities or other lifestyle choices allow them to reach that age. Really. Hello!   Get this, the researcher evicting the elderly from her inherited apartment building is throwing out the types of people she is researching.  The niece is even evicting the elderly woman who looked after her Aunt in her last days. As I said, you can't make this stuff up.
