| I liked this part.... don't leave till the dozer is sitting on the front yard...  "State and local officials had little stomach to oust the diehards, who squatted tax- and rent-free in houses they no longer owned." | |

| Good/sad reading. I work with a guy that lives near Wheeling, W. Va that sold his home to a mining company after his house starting cracking and sinking. He was more than fairly compensated, but, he had to move. Nothing fair about that.  | |

| Good documentary, but sad when you realize what was there. I can't imagine my whole hometown being torn down with just a road running through grass lots where homes/businesses/schools/churches used to be. | |
