It looks like Gov Nuissance is working on the very first "great taking".
It is coming.

I think T.H.E.Y. are planning just what you said.

I don't think the people are going to revolt and take the property back.
It will be like, those who could leave, left. And what does the govern-cement do with a bunch of vacant houses? The homesteaders will be at the bottom of the list of govern-cement taking of houses, and will just not acknowledge any action that declare them public property.

The homestead belongs to the "family" that lives there. It won't be for sale. The concept of selling it won't exist.
