Fact of the matter is that any policy change benefits some and come at the cost of few others—you’re probably rarely going to have a 100% utility across the board—what is important however is maximizing the number of those benefiting and minimizing those that may have adverse effect.
Government is not in the business of ensuring equal quality of life for every single citizen—it doesn’t have such resources and no one can do that—what it can do however is to effect changes for maximum number of people while keeping the door open for those who may be affected to improve.
Bottom line is we need to rely on economic data to gauge impact and not few anecdotal cases and go from there.
