It was one of your examples for a love of real property ie land, and I'm showing you that it really isn't as simple as just a love for a particular spot in the sun. I know you were speaking in general, but for this specific example it's not about real estate it's about people having their property stolen from them.

Most people don't have a particularly overwhealming tie to a particular spot. Oh sure, they love the summer cabin, or they love their family farm that they've had for 200 years, or whatever. While they might not sell it, they'd be damn pissed if it was taken from them.

My point was that you brought it up as just one example of people's attachemnt to property. I would argue that in most cases it's that they don't like to have something stolen from them.

In cases where people are on their land and refuse to leave, it's because they fear change and the unknown, becuase really at the heart of it we're a bunch of scared apes who get spooked really easily.
