A boy sits next to his family's possessions Monday at Group 78 as they prepare to leave their home to make way for road construction. Many families in the community claim title to the land but have been living under threat of eviction for years. City Hall says the houses are build on state public land. Many other communities in the area, including Dey Krahorm and Sambok Chab, were evicted as land prices in the area soared.
