Nobody was being "force moved" into the DSO complex when it was new. Many people elected to move there on their own accord and most if not all new joiners were given a place there. I even liked the place especially since they were detached stand alone houses but elected to stay in Jumeriah because we had a boat at the time and there was no space in DSO for it.
Meydan on the other hand is a forced move into a community of row houses. I can't think of too many places in Jumeriah that would be worse than Meydan but of course everyone see's things differently.
