This is the part that I have a problem with. These folks are NOT property owners. They own a house that they have put on SOMEONE ELSE'S property. The entity who owns that property has decided to do something else with it. This is not the problem of the actual property owner.
If I took a mobile home, plopped it down beside 'your' house on 'your' property...is it now your responsibility to "treat me fairly" and "give me fair market value" if you don't want my mobile home there? No? Why is this any different?
That's my issue with this situation. If the people owned the property that their trailers sat on...yup, if someone wants it, they have to pay fair market value for it. But they DON'T OWN THE LAND and took a gamble...that's not worked out for them. It sucks for them...but that's life.
