I work for a local government as an eminent domain appraiser and if the Court had ruled for the landowner, it would be catastrophic for most all local governments as the volume of value lost through land use regulations on the local, state and federal levels would be staggering. I make no judgments here other than the SCOTUS opinion was probably swayed by that fact and lot much by the Constitution.

And that is exactly what should have happened!

Eminent domain, and “land use regulations” should have died 50 years ago. They serve only tyranny at this point.

This problem has long been in the making as the Supreme Court has arbitrarily, over many decades, purposefully made up so-called "constitutional" property law which should have been left to the legislative branch.

But that's what the constitution requires. The real solution is for governments not to attempt to screw people out of their property rights.
