Title searches usually only go back 60 years. If there's some history like this on your property, you mind find it taken away from you one day...

Eminent domain has been used in abusive and unjust manners against property owners. This case might make overreacting governments think twice before seizing land via eminent domain.

You can bet your bippy they were.
If they didnt take the compensation and buy more land then they have no ody to blame but themselves.
At first glance tbis stinks like corrupt judges.

The government did not follow through with their stated purpose of seizing the land via eminent domain.

...If they didnt take the compensation and buy more land then they have no ody to blame but themselves... There is a long and very bad history of owners being severely under compensated for their land in the US.

Yes they would have gotten some type of compensation. I have grave doubts that it was a racist policy.

She bought it for 1200 dollars and was paid 14,000 for it.

I wonder if the Democrats will give back all the land taken from the Japanese-Americans while they were in the camps?

They did get compensated, but the government did not utilize the land for the public good in the manner that they had originally stated.

They were paid $12,500, which might have been fine for the lots, but they had built a lodge, cafĂ©, and dance hall. They stole his land, livelihood and life’s work because they didn’t want his type around. And it worked. Manhattan Beach is 0.5% black.
The lot is still owned by the City, so giving it back to the family will be easy.

I wouldn’t mind getting back my share of the property the communists expropriated from my grandfather. There’s an apartment complex and cinema on what used to be his home and business. Alas. So are the ways of the world. I guess there’s some descendant of the Habsburgs who would also lay claim to it, and many more before then.
