Do we really own our land?

First to answer your question, no, we don't own our own land. It's sad. We have to ask permission to do anything with it and give it to them if they want it. But I agree, there is only strength in numbers and you need to form a group to fight this. I am thinking of those houses that are right on the water in AB, not across the street. That must mean the state thinks they own them too? They will not only lose land, steps and maybe a boathouse maybe but their house!! Whatever happened to they work for us? They don't. They are the rulers of us. So sad. I know how you feel being a victim of eminent domain. And in our case at least they didn't want to pay us any money close to what we had it assessed for. It is heart wrenching to go through. I am so sorry for you.
