How about the county takes 30 feet of my property down one side to plant some trees. I can't step foot on this land or fence it in or let my horse on it, yet I pay taxes and still 'own' it. Reasonable?

So if the county comes along and pours sugar in your car's gastank, thereby decreasing it's value, that's okay so long as the goal is to take vehicles off the road?
