Police in Michigan say a startling discovery was made on the roof of a Michigan grocery store: A woman was living inside the store sign for roughly a year.
The ethical problems are that it’s not designed to be lived in, so it’s probably not safe. It’s also an ethical problem to kick her out without a safety net, but there’s plenty of reasons why I could think of that would make it not OK for her to be there.
We aren’t talking about a toxic waste dump or a steel mill. This is a grocery store attic.
I’d agree that if they rented the space to her that would be unethical as they aren’t providing essential utilities like water and sewage. However, this location was likely safer and more private for her than camping out on the street. Her situation was not improved by being evicted. She was harmed. That’s why it’s unethical to evict on discovery.
‘That likely’ so you’ve decided based on nothing except your preconceived opinions which are likely based in the first place on nothing more than ‘it makes me feel good to believe this’

She was living rent free pulling resources from a company that likely fights against social programs for homelessness. That, to me, 1000% ethical.
It would only be unethical if the US has an adequate social safety net.
