There's a world of difference between expropriation and listing something as a Heritage building. 1) Expropriations usually occur with a compensation factor as part of the process (I know there can be disputes as to whether or not the compensation was fair but still compensation non the less) 2) Expropriation usually happens in order to build a road, school, Government building, etc.
