The argument is that the "other use" will generate far more money in property taxes which will benefit the public. 90 or so residents have sold out to the state, but there are 7 holdouts. The case is to be heard by the US SCT in October.

Much like the arguments for free trade (hi skek!), it seems just to me that those benefiting from the state action compensate the victims, through the state, for the harm they suffer. If the state action is truly net beneficial, everyone will still be at least as well off in the end.
