It seems all too easy for big developers to take a map, draw a line and call it a day. We're told it's only 60 feet wide. However, it's easy to overlook the point you raise: How are we going to be able to work this land? In fact, will we even be able to work it at all?
I think we really need to emphasize the problem this poses. In fact, it's worse than expropriation. You can expropriate someone and tell them you'll build them a nice new house, similar to the previous one, two kilometres away. However, you can't relocate a farmer's land.
Do you have anything else to add?
