I feel compelled to write and question why Mr Pardue cannot be left alone to live in his old van until his natural end.

He seems to be happy and is not hurting anyone by being there. After 40 years living this way how long does anyone in 'authority' think he will last being shoved into a flat!

Why not concentrate some money and time on more important issues instead of wasting taxpayers' money on someone who needs to be left in peace.
