[Big City] Leona and Enoch lived next door to each other for over thirty years. In an effort to bring new business and jobs into the area, the Big City council planned to build a shopping center, business park, and hotel.

B) Yes, but only if Ivan is deprived of all economically beneficial uses of the land.
