Even though a seizure may now be "legal", there are still civil court action ramifications.
True enough. Although, most government officials involved in land issues have the benefit of government paid attorneys, and developers have the cash to front lawyers' fees. The poor homeowners in most cases only have enough to meet their immediate needs, let alone finance a lawsuit.

I don't see how. One may argue "fair price", but they no longer can argue the action.
