[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MightyAlweg: [qb] And then in the Sunday edition of the Orange County Register, a newspaper with a famously libertarian bent, they had a lengthy and in-depth series on the property owners big and small that would have to give up their property to make the HSR alignment a reality. This is an element to the story we haven't really heard about, and I found the information the Register pulled together to be quite eye opening, particularly the small farmers and property owners who feel they have no voice against the Authority in Sacramento hell bent on laying tracks ASAP. The Register found 1,300 different land owners who own property that the current alignment needs to have! Yikes.[/qb][/QUOTE]This is a song often if not always sung by those near any road, railroad, airport, or anything else where there is a need for property. Frequently the main purpose is to see if they can squeeze a larger check out of the agency. Very rarely is it legitimate. There are numerous procedures in place to make sure the affected landowners are "made whole" No one is having their land stolen from them at gunpoint. [/QB][/QUOTE]
