We felt bad because even though she said she wanted to come with us to SoCal, none of us anticipated her difficulty to adapt.
Denis, good topic.

All true but that doesn't enter into the ethical side of this. Ethics knows no age or time.

4 Months later the landlord told him he had 2 months to vacate and move his business that had been there for 20 years. Reason being the landlord sold the building, new owner wants to gut the place and make it into something else.
So my 70 year old father had to move his business after dumping a nice amount of money into his unit to make it better.
He will recover from it, but it sucks and does not seem fair.
Welcome to life.
Where is this 102 year old womans family? Why are they not helping her, why is a stranger (the Governator) helping her?
That is more of a sad story than the landlord to me.

First of all, your dad's lawyer was not looking out for him when it went month to month. No lawyer, even bigger mistake. All companies need a lawyer on retainer. The article says no immediate family close at all. Leaves rather a large information gap so we are simply speculating here.
It's a question about ethics, not morality and not about the human condition.
