After a highly lucrative career as a Public Defender in Colorado, Trandon Bryon purchases a 10 acre piece of land on the coast of Oregon for a large sum of money. Trandon has big plans to develop the land into a disc golf resort, a movie theater that only shows superhero movies, condominiums for wealthy University of Arizona Alumni, free-standing mini mansions, as well as a shopping center for high end retailers (No Walmarts Allowed).

1 year after Trandon has purchased the property, Oregon decides that there are way too many disc golf resorts being developed throughout the state, as well as too little coastline for families to enjoy. Oregon passes a Development for the Future of our Families Act which designates specific pieces of land throughout the state of Oregon that cannot be developed any further, and takes away all economically beneficial uses of the land. Trandon's land is one of the pieces of land designated by the State of Oregon and is now essentially worthless.

1. Has Oregon taken land from Trandon under the law as interpreted by the US Supreme Court?

2. Why or why not has Oregon taken Trandon's land?

3. What arguments could Oregon make as to why they have not taken Trandon's land?

4. Assume this is considered a taking by Oregon, what does Oregon need to do now to make Trandon whole?
