An interim step that might alleviate some of this abuse is to alter the statutes so that the owner from which the property is taken has the option to receive compensation for his property in the amount of the property's appraised value after it has been developed (at the original owner's option).
It isn't a total solution, but it might raise the bar a bit against governments using eminent domain reflexively.
