"...$97 million set aside to buy the properties and help landowners relocate. The city made offers to all 23 landowners on the site last month but received no response from 10."

$97 million divided by 23? What's that? About $4.2 mil per landowner? Heck, just give me my $4.2 million and I'll relocate myself! Not that it actually will work out that way, but I would be real curious to see the properties and see what the offers amounted to.

Its probably $200K for the landowners and the other $96.8M set aside for the lawyers involved!

Here you go:

Here's some info from the Washington Post. The first link is a story, and the second link in a nice graphic that shows info on each lot as you roll your pointer over it. If it asks to register, try "annoying" and "annoying".

Let's see... That's... $97 Million = $7 million to 'buy the properties' ...plus $90 million to pay the city's lawyers and ...'other necessary administrative costs'... relating to the 'purchases'...?
...So... $7,000,000/23= $304K...isn't it?
