Where The Heart Is

Stewart McBain (Dabney Coleman) is a real estate mogul who demolishes old buildings and erects new ones in their stead. It's business as usual for a new subdivision until a group starts protesting the imminent destruction of a building at the site. McBain soon appears on TV (in a bad light, of course) and is ridiculed by his children. As payback, he drops them off at the condemned building with $750 apiece and tells them they're on their own.
