Reply to comment by Wyldfire2112 in Hotel of Terror in downtown Springfield faces condemnation by Maxwyfe

As I understand it, the Eminent Domain process has to involve a neutral third party who assesses the fair market value of the property.

I assume you're referring to a case where there were buildings (etc.) and the owner did not receive the value of them? That does seem unfair on the face of it.

Exactly. Paying someone out for a home on an acre of land as if it were an acre of empty fields, rather than what a realtor could get for the property, is a scam I've seen several times. That "neutral" third party is often anything but.
