... I paid 36k and got 56k (six year later) from our glorious government overlords. The same properties that weren’t taken in that neighborhood were selling close to 500k when I lost mine and are now in the 800k to 1 million range.

OMG! I had no idea. The few eminent domain cases I've known up close and personal were road rights-of-way, where the dominated seller came out pretty hunky dory.

Your case is pathetic and should be unlawful - seriously. I hope your replacement home situation made up for at least part of the loss.

My case was a city park next to a river. The city attorneys knew there was no way in heck myself and the others could afford to fight it.
