I laughed when I read this: "The government can't just take property from someone, and if they do, they have to pay for it," said Dowell. "Just because an entity is funded with taxpayer dollars doesn't give them the right to steal property."

It all sounds so nice, unfortunately they fail to mention who sets the price -- which is: the government. In many cases, if you look how they treated people in Texas while building the Mexico-Canada corridor, they were offered prices that anyone in sound mind would straightforwardly call "stealing".
