Yes, they may be forced by court order to sell. This was always the case, however now it comes as a surprise to many, both on the Left and on the Right. It seems there was something left out of our public education class in civics. Or maybe we slept in class that day--all of us.
You noted that it was always the case that the Saha's may have been forced to sell. I do not see that as always being the case. That is, the Saha's (at a great expense) were able to resist the local government for several years- mainly because their was some question as to whether the proposed project (a municipal golf course) was deemed necessary for the good of the public. But with this new ruling, it would seem that what was once in question is now more than ample reason to force someone to sell their land and so, if the local government wished to act, they could now force the Saha's to sell without a fight.
Yes, there is no doubt that I've been asleep. I appreciate your insight.
