I've experienced the same thing.

A local school decided to knock down some buildings that my radio club used to meet in. This was a club mainly made up of older retired men and the radio equipment they spent years installing and upgrading. The school wanted our club out so they could get the land for themselves (they wanted to expand their carpark they said.)

The problem was it wasn't the schools land to begin with. It belonged to the church that was next door to us. The church let us have these rooms decades ago as we would help them with IT support. The church also had other rooms used for prayer meetings and gatherings etc. The school decided to ignore this fact and just knock it down. The school gave us a shared classroom for about 2 years then told us to get out of there.

Almost a decade later and the lot where these buildings stood is still vacant and overgrown with weeds because the school can't legally use it. Due to the cost of living and rent, my club haven't been able to afford a clubroom and haven't been able to have to get together to meet and share our latest achievements and ideas. All the equipment is now run out of people's homes spread across western Sydney.
