@cy @resl@mas.to so this reminds me of a fun thing happening here:
my city eminent-domain'd a parcel of land for $8 million, intending to build a new public unsafety building to house the cops
the previous owners sued because they said they could have gotten more than that on the open market, so now the city had to pay a total of $30 million based on the court decision
this took all the money they were going to use to construct the pig sty, so the city is now trying to sell the land to recoup at least some of the investment
and, following all this, it turns out the assessed/market value of the land is $3 million
