"Determined by WHO?" The World Health Organization? That seems like a
silly idea. What would the WHO know about property values.
As for property value, that shouldn't be terribly difficult to determine.
Appraisals are available pretty much anywhere.
As for "right or wrong", I didn't support the right to take property, I only
stated that the methods are very different between Mexico and the USA.
Too much assumption in this world...
Beer... more beer... it's Friday dammit!

Determined by WHO?
We beat them back somewhat in San Jose. Look up Tropicana Shopping
Center and the San Jose RDA. You'll find pages on the attempted
illegal confiscation of property by the San Jose City Council to turn
over to 'out of city' developers who happen to be major campaign
financiers. We won that battle but the fight goes on all over the
country as people attempt to keep their property. The Connecticut
trial was and is a black eye on the Supreme Court of the USA.
Enough Friday rambling.
In this case... boycott Mexico. It's just about your only weapon and
its pretty weak at that.

Where ever you are, there you be. Unless you're driving my van, in
which case, you ain't got there yet.
