Maybe I missed it, but what are the rewards for tearing down your own home? I get that they'll be forced to pay more for the government to tear it down, but it didn't say they were getting relocated, so why not just abandon the home if you're going to have to leave anyway? I mean other than owing money to the government that you probably can't pay anyway. I just wish the article explained the consequences of not paying for demolition either by the government or self-demolition so we can understand why they're pressured to do it at all.
The rewards is they don't get killed. Yet.
