One problem is that I don't think you ever see someone getting fully compensated for their loss. The word "approximate" apparently has a lot of play in it. First, once it's known that constuction will happen in an area, the property values for homes have to fall drastically. Do they then pay you this reduced rate as "compensation"? I think they do! I tell you what would make them think twice about seizing peoples homes is if they had to pay 120-150% market value for the priveledge plus relocation expenses. That would keep frivolous crap out of the mix. My late grandparents were kicked out of their home to make room for the itty bitty airport to expand their runway. They tore up a bunch of homes and the road. You know what's funny? Fifteen years later the seized land is forested over because it never happened! How stupid was that!
