Liz:

It's not bigotry to suggest that the town of Tambo Grande might not have a lot of expensive infrastructure to replace.

If you check out the link below, you'll see that Tambo Grande is high on one of the main world indicators of poverty -- lack of a decent water supply. What this table shows is that, in 1993, 74.4 percent of the homes in Tambo Grande had no running water and no well. This was one of the highest percentages in the Piura region, which is one of the poorest areas in Peru.

So I would think that the majority of the inhabitants would (a) support the future regional economic development resulting from a mining camp, and (b) be looking forward to having a home with a water supply.

<the bigotry that your answer implies speak for themselves>

Well, at least I haven't reached the point of dragging the dead from their graves.
