Last guy to sell wins the lottery? lolOne precept that has stood me in good stead is that I assume our forebears were not idiots. There are reasons for eminent domain takings. I may not know the whole history of the decisions that led to that process, but my bet is that people discovered a lot of chicanery was going on with land sales for government projects. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that planners for government projects were front running, and were buying property they knew would be needed, and the reselling that property to the taxpayers a few months later for ransom prices.By the way, there is a section of road I travel where there is an example of your solution. A powerful farmer made the state go around his property, so that on an an otherwise straight road of 25 miles there is a 3 mile stretch with a 90 degree right turn, a 90 degree left turn, a 20 degree chicane, and a 90 degree right turn. At least the state has cut the big trees, and keeps the brush growth light to cushion drivers who regularly fly off one of those curves. That decision, made probably 120 years ago, has claimed many a life through the years.
