This may be the first attempt to think through the government condoned appropriation or stripping away of property amenity and thereby large portions of farm property values.
Previously the disfigurement of the physical environment was thought to be the major cause of property value loss. The loss, obvious to everyone except WEP developers and their government and non government supporters, was hard to quantify systematically as virtually every property had a different outlook and a different immediate environment.
More recently, the emerging and severe health issue has not only supported property devalua-tion, it has in a way overwhelmed the environment disfiguration issue and, because it is easier to quantify, created a possible methodology for drawing some general conclusions.
