I sort of agree with this, but it's definitely easy to just say. The housing side was way WAY worse.
I'm simply saying that there is nothing that can be done now that would not be damaging and deleterious to those who own the property lawfully. It sucks, it really does. I would be pissed as hell about it. However, you can't punish people waaaay after the fact. All you can do is ensure that it doesn't happen again, at least from a legally sanctioned/supported POV.

How would the government writing a check to someone who could prove harm be "damaging and deleterious" to those who own the property lawfully? Is someone talking about taking it back and handing it to someone else?
