Its not just the ghettos they take. I know of one county which was begging for a hydro electric power plant. the dam would have been built on land owned by the power company and nobody would have to be displaced but they were denied permits. Instead, an alternate site in the next county was chosen. It was all farm land and all the farmers lost their land. My father also once served on a jury which had to decide values of farm homes which was taken by the state of WV to build Canaan Valley State Park.
