lol as much as you like. Provide a link where fair compensation wasnt received, until then its just a bunch of rhetoric. And "fair" means the value before the run up in prices due to the project itself.

As pvn and kaj have pointed out, the compensation can only be 'just' if it is what the person who owns the property would like in exchange. But if the person was getting what he/she would like in exchange for his/her property, then there would be no need for the government to seize it. Therefore, compensation for land seized for eminent domain is never just.

If this were true then all disputes over value would be unresolvable.

Yeah, totally. I mean, it would be totally impossible to allow to people to freely decide on the value of an object through fair exchange. I CANT THINK OF ONE EXAMPLE OF THAT EVER HAPPENING!!
