I have a dream that one day, all apartments will rise up, and together live out the true meaning of their creed: ‘Together we gay, united we trans!’ — Martha Lucy Queen Jr.

Others have provided a good overview, so I don’t have much to add. If you’d like to know more, here is a good place to start. Also, this thread gives a decent snapshot of how the community reacted.
In apartment terms:
The 196 landlords wanted to move to another city because they didn’t like this city’s mayor’s authority. The 196 tenants like the city, because it’s inclusive and the mayor is a pretty cool gal, and saw the landlords’ city of choice as significantly worse for a LOT of reasons. Regardless, the landlords locked the building and expected all the tenants to move with them at a moment’s notice.
So some cool people found a different building in the original city and used that, all while telling the original landlords how dumb and bad they were for their little stunt. The original landlords eventually relented and opened the old building, but the new building remained with different landlords.
