I have sympathy for people living in a place where FEMA redraws the flood plain maps. They bought a home outside of the flood zone and with the stroke of a pen, their home is now inside the zone and can no longer afford to live there.
A group in Houston sued the city there over something like this and their argument was that redrawing the map was an unconstitutional taking of the land.
