Yes, and that is where I have the most problem with this ruling. Just compensation typically puts the decision in the hands of the courts, and given a long and bloody history, the courts nearly always seem to lean in the general direction of which side has the most expensive attorneys. Thus in the game of the developers with deep enough pockets to afford good legal counsel versus land owners who can barely afford their medical costs, it seems a foregone conclusion that the developers have a considerable edge. > > I can see that in certain exceptional cases there may be > a case for forcing people to sell but I do not think that this > should be the rule. I'm afraid it might be, but I am still trying to finish studying the ruling handed down. Just not enough time...
