    Preferable to the idea that the state can come in and force your local area to bend to its will.

      If your land, serving you and your family of 6, could serve a thousand people instead via infrastructure or urbanization, then yes, I think the government has the right to uproot and resettle you. Obviously, on the condition that you are compensated and helped along, which I know doesn’t happen in either country, but clinging to ideals isn’t helping solve the issue.

        Because local communities should be in control of the land, not some top-down authoritarian state that comes in decides to fuck up your entire life to suit their need for economic growth.
