  "account": "Conceição Queiroz, a 51-year-old former resident of Vila Autódromo, reflects on her forced relocation to Parque Carioca ten years after being evicted for the 2016 Olympic Games. She lived in Vila Autódromo for about 20 years after moving from the northeastern state of Maranhão to take care of her nephew, who was born there. She described Vila Autódromo as a small, close-knit community reminiscent of a countryside farm, where residents knew each other and gathered in front yards to chat and share meals. She cherishes the memories of her time there, noting the strong sense of community and the feeling of being at home. However, she also speaks to the impact of the abandoned area left behind after the evictions and the mixed emotions of those who remained, who were offered financial incentives to leave. The city built 20 houses, including one in her name, but she chose not to stay due to financial concerns.",
