    IIRC, you can say no to private development but not to the state. Either way you’re well compensated if you give up your land.

      Yeah, technically the state owns all land, including the land that holds both personal and private property, so they are free to use that ownership, but they are also required to compensate the people who own property on the land. This is basically just a rephrasing of Eminent Domain.
