[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 927698, member: 17969"] I agree that ID is the biggest hurdle yet to be jumped on the pipeline, but MORELUCK seems to think "fair market value" is something that is a terrific idea. What she doesnt acknowledge is that some persons who purchased land or property back a few years, then invested in that land will never see the value of that investment. As land/property values slide downward, those who are forced to surrender their property under ID will LOSE MONEY. That is not fair. If you consider all the states the pipeline has to enter, think about how many pieces of personal property will have be surrendered. There is no upside for the property owner and many will be displaced. Its always easy for others to tell others to lose their property, but I bet if morelucks retirement community needed to be raised so a shopping mall could be placed there, shed have a chitt fit for days! If they gave her .50 cents on the dollar for her mobile home, Im sure she'd be fine with it, right? I applaud the president for thinking this all out before a decision will be made. You guys on the other hand, just repeat the same old talking points leaving out the meat of the issue. Its not a cut a dried proposal, it has complications and those complications have to be sorted out. I would rather see and hear what the residents and business owners say after they are told they have to surrender their property for this pipeline to be built. Lets see if there is the same enthusiam for the project. Peace. [/QUOTE]
