Loads of people had their homes and business property subject to compulsory purchase.
The area is a secured compound where untrained guards stop you from entering wearing t-shirts with logos of the sponsors competitors on them.
So if you have a freebee Pepsi shirt or a joke Burgher King shirt you can't go there.
It's a land grab.
London has the most expensive building land in Europe so it will be no surprise to me if all those underpriced compulsory purchase orders get turned into profitable rabbit hutch apartments for knobs once the useless stadia get pulled down or fall down (or blown up going by the security cock-ups).
