OOOOOhhhh but that's NOT how it works; it's only the beginning! You're apparently new to this. Once the land is taken, a fraction is sold off cheap to the FAVORED developers who will let those hungry workers help build that mansion next to the open space for a pittance as long as they pay off the appropriate local politicians and vote appropriately...
This isn't simply ideology, it's corruption on a scale so massive that it is hard to see.
That's the ticket - follow the money, and just think of what the Clinton's were hoping to reap for themselves and their "friends" through this kind of "planning". Whitewater, anyone?
