Concern regarding the town's situation and the "was" changes: Too soon?

So I've noticed that some users are doing the "is -> was" change routine since the town was utterly devastated by flooding brought on by Helene, this despite there being no word as of yet as to whether the village will be disestablished or will rebuild. Because of that, I am concerned that we could be jumping the gun on that call before one's officially made by the respective officials. I have tried reverting those changes for that reason but it was put back by another user and I don't want to risk initiating an edit war, hence why this is being made. Feel free to weigh in on this if you want. TinglesFrickinMap (talk) 03:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

You are correct, this is IMO entirely inappropriate and disrespects the people currently suffering there. Blimp2205 (talk) 03:31, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

@TinglesFrickinMap 100% too soon. The town is still considered a populated place, just one in a severe state of crisis. Until it becomes abandoned (if it ever does, which it hopefully won't be), using 'was' instead of 'is' is completely inappropriate. jan Janko (talk) 05:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

The river's course altered. The town's building even the foundations really got destroyed. Even if they wanted to rebuild, they can't because the land plots were now in the middle of a river's new pathway.

There are unfortunately no buildings in Chimney Rock anymore. I am sorry for the people who had homes or shops there, and wish the best to them, but to be realistic this is actually worse than Katrina, and this would probably have to find another place.

Am in the opinion of and likely a new paradigm for US Supreme Court to wisely decide upon in which the plots, lands, property/communities that had shifted from natural/un-natural events is not based on legal property landmarks that had moved, shifted or utterly destroyed.

Territorial boundaries are set spatially in horizontal and vertical coordinates. If a (house) structure had shifted a few feet or several hundred feet the owner still owns the structure but not the land it had newly rested upon.

By right, the original surveyed property boundaries regardless of land shifting are in essence intact. Logically a plot or community would have to be relocated to a geologically safe foundation to be built upon.

Most importantly the cultural heritage of a people or unique community kept intact is what America is.

A fast-food chain or casino doesn't last and eventually closes down, relocates to oppertue demographics, but a cultural identity or heritage does not.

• Correction: 'Oppertue' is 'Oppertune'

You are correct, revert it, Chimney Rock is still a village until it is legally disincorporated. We get similar stupid edits when tornadoes mostly destroy other communities. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 00:16, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
