"Evicting" or just outright killing all the bandits will affect the Silver Lining quest if it has not be acquired prior to doing so. You can't alter locations that are tethered to quests, that's why we are rebuilding Helgen and not becoming Jarl of Whiterun.

As I said, one could set up trading routes with existing farms or cities.
