Stretch, the Old Geezer here: Now that I have read the comments, I wish to make my take known to "Ya'al" I was forced to sell ten acres several years ago for about $400,000. My argument was that I purchased the land to build my dream home on and to hold it for my future retirement income, when I got too old to care for it.
I feel that any eminent domain seizure of one's property for any purpose, that person who owned the property, should become a partial owner of any development on that property so as to recieve compensation that would have been his if he had held on to it. In other words, if Wal Mart took my ten acres, there should have been a clause in the contract that would make me receive a portion of future profits from WalMart. In other words, a part owner of that store or other business. Today, that ten acres they took from me would be worth $ two million. without walmart or another development on it. just raw land with my home on it.
