Do you mean can these kinds of takings be stopped despite the Supreme Court's decision? Absolutely! Of course!
The Supreme Court didn't say states and local governments (including municipalities) MUST do what was done here, only that the Fifth Amendment doesn't prohibit it. Concerned citizens need to get to work immediately and take every reasonable step to prevent their states and local governments from taking advantage of this decision. They should start by examining their own state laws and constitutional provisions.
Some states already have stringent constitutional prohibitions or legislation in place that would prevent what happened in Connecticut. If your state isn't such a state, start pushing your state representatives HARD to make it one.
Thank you.
The problem with that strategy is that the state has a vested interest in maintaining the opposite case: that it indeed have this power to maximize tax revenues. My own feeling is that the states will fight any such citizen action, including their own courts. For instance, the State of South Carolina and Jasper Country are even now squabbling among themselves as to who will garner the most gelt from taking land owned by Georgia in South Carolina on the Savannah.
Can you imagine either the state or the county willingly giving up that power, especially after today's wideranging decision?
I remember the Proposition 13 fight in California; it took enormous energy on the part of many people to push it through. Can you imagine that much energy being expended, that many people emulating Howard Jarvis and then-Governor Reagan these days in every state capital?
