Certainly not enough information in the article. When an article goes vague like this everything written should be taken with a grain of distrust.

From the pictures it looks like that highway project was going to within five foot of their front door. As also can be seen there was no reason to build a highway five feet from their front door when the photo's clearly show the opposite side of the highway has no homes for, what? A quarter mile? Looks like they had pleanty of room to build their highway without ruining the property on the only inhabited side of the street. I'd sure like to know what their anti-American literature was.

Speaking of not enough information, why would you be pronouncing engineering edicts based upon a photo?

This is exactly what I was thinking as I read the article. There is a lot of information lacking. For
example, what were the issues in dispute between the land
owner and the local government?
