Some of the families were unhappy in their new life, others were OK with it. In any event, Uncle Sam is not known for being fair by any stretch.
I didn't save the link to the article but the government claimed that they were offering the mountain people a better way of life - new homes (to those who qualified) that were in better condition. IMO it is not the government's say as to what will make people happy and what their lifestyle should be. I know I wouldn't want to be tossed off my family's ancestral home so that the general public can enjoy it.
It really is crappy how the government treats people at times.
Thanks for the vid.
