How possibly can you put a money value on losing your home town? It is not a physical thing, the loss of lousy piece of dirt, it is the loss of the total web of social contacts that forms your life.

I understand what you are saying.

What I DO NOT understand is why all those who feel as strongly as you do about this have not been RAISING HELL for the past 30 odd years about it?

Why so passive? Why not railing against your government, or whoever you feel is responsible for it?

I ask this again and again and NEVER get an answer.

Where were you during the first 30 years when all the commotion was taking place???

Fair comment. Perhaps you could post some links to all the commotion and protests that took place during that time. I mean specifically with regard to the property issue.

All this talk of towns destroyed and loss of total web of social contacts etc....

This was happening before 1974 for TC by the GCs.

Two wrongs do not make a right, but people move on. Safety and a tangible base from which to bring up your family is more valuable than nostalgia.
