I figured this was what you had in mind, because it is the only case, but you implied they were happening all the time.

Your link said:

“nearly cost”

Trump tried to buy her house for about two million dollars, and a lifetime residence in one of his Florida hotels, but she was holding out for more. She got bad advice.

He walked away from the project; she still had her house.

The eminent domain case was launched by the city.

Have you ever seen a picture of the house while the construction was going on and she refused to sell. The buildings were about ten feet from her house and built around it.

It was not a quaint little house on a tree lined street with green lawns, etc. It must have been hell with all the construction noise.

She finally sold it for a little and moved into a nursing home, I think. It was later demolished by the new owner.
