You are responsible for protecting your family. That may mean you have to sell your home. Do you rather want to do that or sacrifice your families freedom?
Is that a fact? Or is it learned behavior? This sort of lazy, defeatist appeal to some rigid notion of human nature is a pernicious refrain in any discussion about real change.
The only thing you can say for sure about humans is that we possess a capacity for change and adaptation whose bounds have yet to be identified. But if you want to live in a box, then that's what you'll get.
If your home is under physical attack, you abandon your home as a refugee. Maybe some developers feel strongly enough to do the same when their livelihoods are under ideological attack.
