The Homesteaders that had their land condemned by the Government for Los Alamos weren't very happy. The Government also speed up the process so they could seize the land immediately. There have been many times the government has taken land from people without compensation. The city I live in did it to my neighbors and I ten years ago. Government have even seized land to give to private companies because they would " put it to better use than the current owners". This was usually to build Malls or Industrial parks
