The Court held the 1961 communications did not create proprietary or irrevocable rights; residents remained permittees under the Resettlement Ordinance with permits terminable on notice; there was no sufficient inducement, reliance or unconscionability to ground proprietary estoppel or entitlement to damages; the Housing Authority's notices to quit were valid and the appeals therefore fail.
