I do not believe that anything can compensate for loss of one's home. I do not know what's going on in the Occident but here in Istanbul on every flipping square metre they build a glass tower where they stuff people, and everyday neighbourhoods are killed and the city is resembling more and more those stock videos of Chinese urban areas. This cannot be compensated anyhow, regardless of where-ever it happens.

Would $1 billion in cash per household compensate? I believe for most people, the answer is "Yes, of course!" Is $1 enough? Of course not.

To me, that means the "right price" is somewhere in that bounded range and makes eminent domain conflicts amenable to financial analysis.
