"it's not totally different from the situation where the government wants to build a train track through where your house currently sits." It's not at all similar to eminent domain. A better parallel would be the military 'draft'. Does the US government pay soldiers enough to truly consider the violence they will face? What would the 'going market rate' be for soldiers in such a situation? And yet somehow people do it for relatively low pay? I wonder why? Hmmm ... maybe because there's something more than 'private property' at stake? This is not a situation wherein government action to ostensibly benefit the many, causes minor economic injury to a few or even one. This is a situation wherein the entire game is up for grabs, there are lives at stake, and everyone is 'all in'.
