If they'd lived there that long they'll probaly be dead before the flooding happens!
Yes, you can understand the obejctions of such people but I think you'll find that a lot of the other objectors are not losing their homes but are developers, estate agents and the like worried about losing their income!
You can see the same sort of people who have been objecting to the formation of the Downs National Park - they blatantly state that their objection are because they will not be able to develop green land, won't be able to build roads, won't be able to start up out of town shopping malls etc etc ....... Don't ever think that these people have the slightest concern with nature, te future or anything other than filling their own pockets .....
