Another note about taking of houses
In normal times, there might be protests about taking houses for a highway, but in the County today, it is not such a bad deal for residents.
The proposed location of the road is the hardest hit area of the county and the houses are trashed. It is the most vulnerable part of the county to future floods. It is several feet below sea level. All this means that the houses are not worth much now. Even if residents wanted to sell, few people are interested in moving to the county right now, particularlly the most dangerous area of the county. Furthermore, no one is offering home owners insurance so it is very difficult to find a buyer.
Many home owners are upside down on their mortgage and don't want to return. We will see how it all plays out. The politician is grand standing, and it will be hard for him to back down. I wonder how the vote will go.
Really, it is only one project out of 40 so if it gets nixed it will not change the final document very much.
