    I don’t like the idea of US government taking the property at below market value, since that would violate the takings clause of the Constitution.

    I don’t like this phrasing because it seems like you only care that there’s a rule against it, and have no opinion whether that rule is good or not.

      Well, yeah you have a point. However, at this point I’d rather see people just knee-jerk obey the Constitution even if they don’t understand why, as opposed to the way everyone in this administration wipes their ass with it.
