    The Govt is obliged to pay MARKET PRICE. Market price is not a fixed figure, but it sure as hell is a fairly narrow ballpark at any given point in time. I buy and sell property regularly, so please don't imagine you're talking to a rube.

    Anyone can obtain a market price for a property. It's very easy to obtain a figure, so no Govt could ever hope to get away with not paying up.

    Compulsory acquisition happens all the time. What's your point?

    You seem to be a rube when it comes to the government. I have never seen anyone with such blind faith in the government.

    Yes, and that price will vary depending upon where you are getting it. The government gets away with not paying it all the time because their market value estimate is lower than others.

    The point is they lowballed the estimates for the land and unless you were lucky enough to be rich enough to pay lawyers to fight the government, then you are just SOL

    Factor in despair then you get the chicken or egg problem. Why bother being “responsible” if tomorrow will only bring the same sorrow as yesterday?

    There is only one place you can obtain a market value - and guess where it is? The market. The market is not the Govt. The Govt is obliged to work with what the market dictates.

    And where is this magical "market" that gives you the exact price and never varies?

    You claim to buy and sell property, yet you do not seem to have any understanding of what the "market" is.

    Oh, and the Govt is not obliged to do anything they do not wish to do.

    For every choice made, there is a 'reason' - obviously. It's utterly ****ing irrelevant. EG if the discussion was on the perils of wearing high heels, then we'd discuss the perils of wearing high heels - not the endless and unknowable reasons people choose to wear them.

    All functioning humans over the age of 12 understand consequences, in any case.

    The market is BUYERS. What BUYERS are prepared to pay for a given property. How is it that you don't know this? Either I'm missing something, or I'm pitching this above your sight line. Seriously, are you unaware of market price when it comes to property?

    Yes, I buy and sell property in the MARKET. You know, that system from which we derive a market price?

    On the contrary, Govt is obliged by law to pay full market price (or above) for acquired properties. They cannot pay less, because the market price is KNOWN, and is outside of their control.

    You may want to try that in a less obtuse prose.

    And the government is the buyer, thus they are setting the market price.

    Glad we figured that out.

    The government is obliged by law to not spy on its citizens and yet it does.

    The government is obliged by law not to use its citizens as test subjects, yet it did so.

    There are a great many things the government is obliged by law to do that it does not

    Clearly he performed something that put more minorities to work the Mr. Obatard did in EIGHT years.. Ya I know, the DNC farts and it takes two or three years to get whiff of it! That's the same century old bullshit they have always used.... Only ones to buy it is the ardent believers..

    What did he do specifically?

    Or did the trend just happen to continue after he took office?

    Oh you were bad with your bolding gotcha.

    Uhh my guess is a conservative culture of personal responsibility and taking no nonsense from the government.

    You can't answer the question can you :) The darn Latino's making your leftist narrative ridiculous.. The answer is simple really, one MUST WORK to survive and the other must just exist of other to survive..

    That's what the DNC has cultured them to be, dependent, and for that they vote to to survive in a world that has left them behind..

    One doesn’t have to work to survive. That’s just factually false.

    People already living in or close to poverty are not going to seek legal council. And it is cute that you believe governments taking property always do so above market value without first devaluation of that property — especially the extremely racist period of when these “accusations” occluded.

    You cannot believe what you are saying.

    Interesting that you mentioned "white flight". Have you ever considered why (WHY) White people throughout the United States found it necessary or desirable to move to some location where there were far fewer Blacks...?!

    Think about it, if you can do that honestly.... Moving from one house to another, under most circumstances, is a really big pain in the ass, all the way around. Why would someone want so badly to move from a long-established, settled family home unless there were very compelling reasons...? :???:
