It doesn't set a precedent at all. It's always been like this.

Now just more people are being effected by it and in places that people actually give a fuck about. So it's news now.

Mind throwing out a source? Having some trouble searching for other places that have experienced this kinda thing, with how fucked search has gotten. All I can find are articles about company towns, which don't feel like what you're referring to.
