You don't have some special right to upend someone else's life because you were somewhere second. You'd be singing quite a different tune if someone decided to kick you out of your house simply because they have more money and decided they wanted your plot.

An apartment you rent is not "your" house. If you get used to eating some species of shellfish, and the market price for it suddenly triples, society is not obliged to subsidize you continuing to eating it for the rest of your life.
