Yes you can, because they agreed to do it. They've been using police services, roads, transit, the infrastructure they did have, same as everybody else paying property taxes. They didn't pay property taxes on the land because they didn't own it, so they aren't being charged as if they own 'homes'.

At no point does it say that it gives them any rights to owning the actual property and staying indefinitely regardless of the owners intention.
