I grew up on a farm, our area had something similar happen when the local indian tribe attempted to get the land back from the government. I was young when that happened so i am not sure on the details, but say in a situation were the government would want to take my house down to build a 7-11 might make me a bit pissed. not sure that it is right to do that.
Now on the other hand, in a town i use to live in there is one section of area were it is all businesses, everything from car dealerships, fast food, retail..etc stuck in the middle is one house. looks odd to be that one house. I'm guessing the owner stuck it out and resisted to sell to the township. Not sure that was a good idea as the house has to be worth nothing now. Not sure I would want to hang out in my backyard to the sounds of air guns going off next door to a gas station.
