My local newspaper had a story on some asphalt plant in East Bay whose
smell neighborhood residents were complaining about. The news article
made numerous references to the high market value of the homes, some
valued at $9 million.
The plant is obviously a nuisance and had only been there since 2002
and apparently the homes preceded it. Some irregularities were noted
in the approval process, and now the city is offering to pay for its
relocation less than a mile away. It is only because the smelly plant
offends rich yuppie scum that it is being relocated, because $9 million
is supposed to buy them semi-rural tranquility where they don't have to
see, smell, or hear the factory that produces the road asphalt their
SUVs tear up. The article doesn't mention what the factory's new
neighbors think about the relocation, but their opinions don't matter
because their homes aren't even worth a measly $1 million.
