Fair Market Value Compensation for Takings is Often too Little, not too Much

Property owners frequently find fair market value compensation insufficient for losses incurred, raising concerns about the adequacy of the Supreme Court's recent ruling permitting compensation below this standard. This decision risks further undercompensating those whose property is taken for public use, highlighting a critical issue in balancing public needs with private property rights. The implications extend beyond individual cases, potentially eroding trust in legal frameworks governing property rights and public projects.
