One thing to keep in mind as you read about these cases: "Fair market value" means fair market value for the land the business sits on. If you happen to run a business on that land, the city is under no obligation to compensate you for loss of income, or to cover the costs of reopening your business elsewhere.

Unless the laws have changed, I don't believe that is true.

I have a friend in SFO and another in NC who were fully compensated for relocating a business when the city redevelopment agency took the property.

The city of Oakland is seizing land that has been occupied for more than fifty years by a locally-owned tire shop.

Let's not forget who is mayor of Oakland -

Gerry "Moonbeam" Brown, a liberal's liberal.
