Home owners in the UK have been told that "compulsory selling of home" will be

 Elderly people are being told their houses are too big for them and they need
to sell so that illegal aliens can live in their homes.

 An elderly couple who had just moved into their £200,000 house were horrified
to receive a letter from their council suggesting the property could be
subject to compulsory purchase and used to house asylum seekers.
 Jose and Ted Saunders said they were 'insulted and shocked' when the
strongly-worded letter from North Northamptonshire Council-- which has never
balanced its own books-- dropped on their mat last month.
 It said their neat mid-terraced house in Rushden, near Wellingborough, was
deemed to be an empty property, or was 'derelict' and the council could even
force them to sell it.
 'I couldn't believe it,' said retired carer Jose, 76. 'We moved to Rushden to
help provide childcare for my grand-daughter and found this nice little place
to live. The idea of forcing us to sell it to make room for refugees and
asylum seekers seems totally wrong.'
 

Looks like they just made a mistake and thought the property was empty.

The letter, headed 'Empty Properties and sites initiative' had their exact address in bold and stated: 'We are writing as we have reason to believe that the above-named premises… is empty or unused.
 'The Government has identified empty privately-owned properties as a potential cause of blight within communities, and as a wasted resource at time of high housing need.'

So why are you so outraged?  And why did you not mention this part?

Three days later they received an apology, saying their staff had mistakenly ear-marked the house for possible compulsory purchase, but the Saunders were still baffled by the policy itself.
