Put the dirt in a truck and see how much you get for it.

The dirst at ground zero(Sept 11) is toxic and aint worth shit, but the space where the dirt comes from is worth a billion.

And no, natives didn't see the value in buying a plot of land and living there for 80 years until you die. They thought we'd want to move around and
live many places like we were free. They never invisioned a society where the government and the rich would seize the land and access to water then charge it's citizen for the right to access it to exist. That would have been an evil concept much like blocking off the air and charging us to breath. Trump is working on the breathing thing though so hold on.
