This is hardly the point. If they had agreed to sell, there would be a contract for the checks. If the government just sent checks and took possession of the property as an assumption, that's still theft.
A financial reality for you... money is only useful to purchase property. If you have no right to the property your purchase, your money is worth squat.
Here's your concern back at you... I'm sending you a check for $1.00. The bulldozers will be there in a few hours...
And its extremely highly unlikely that happened. Its nearly impossible. That's not how eminent domain works. Some people ignorant of the law do get screwed from time to time, but overwhelmingly, they get more than a fair price. If the home were bulldozed, the owners accepted, in writing, the offer. I don't know anything about the case, but almost every time I argue with someone about this type of thing, then waste hours researching it, it turns out the person who originally told the story didn't come close to having the facts.

As demonstrated by my many posts, I agree. No one really owns property if there is property tax.

Right. This is why I hate arguing about eminent domain with people. Its a waste of time. Good day.
