I think it potentially makes a lot of sense. You have people who own houses in little towns with no economic future, which makes them feel trapped as they probably ant sell. If the province can save money by buying everyone out, those people have the option to relocate to a more sustainable community.
There are some risks though. The biggest one I could see is people moving to a town in hopes of getting it. Probably should limit it to one payment lifetime per person.
CP group buy in the town that voted 85% to leave?
