Good point. But "just compensation" typcially the govt. means, "fair market value," at least - that's my understanding.

Thanks for your post!!!

Thanks, as well, to you. FWIW, "Just compensation" is in there 29 times. Here is an example:

In affirming the City's authority to take petitioners' properties, we do not minimize the hardship that condemnations may entail, notwithstanding the payment of just compensation.21 (from p. 19 majority opinion)

And here is foot note 21 from above in that majority opinion:

21 The amici raise questions about the fairness of the measure of just compensation. See, e.g., Brief for American Planning Association et al. as Amici Curiae 26-30. While important, these questions are not before us in this litigation.
