It is my understanding that they are and have been replacing 1 cabin with three new homes.

I believe the selfish theory is that a parcel of property that was producing about $500 annually for the county and state would be producing about 30 times that much tax revenue.

Those  old "cabins" are really mill village houses, and not suitable for full time occupancy. 

I can see how it is selfish for a person to want to keep a weekend cabin there by depriving three homesteads that are usually full time residences.

It also feeds the realestate hucksters.
It feeds the lawyers.
It increases funding for schools and teachers.

At the end of the day it is all about money whether you are Mom or Ben or Tom. 

I am sure mom could have bought the property on which the old cabin sits.  It might be three lots now and cost a million dollars or more and she may have to spend another million dollars on construction,  but at the end of the day it is all about money. 

In the immortal words of Dale Bumpers quoting H. L. Mencken.  "If they say it is not about money, it is about money.  If they say that it is not about sex,  it is about sex."
