Suppose the city changes the regulations concerning property next to a home. As a result of

the new regulation, a garbage dump will be built on that property, resulting in a fall in the

value of the home of fifty percent. The home owner sues for compensation for a taking. The

likely result will be:

a$.$ no taking; no compensation

b$.$ no taking if the dump is public; a taking if the dump is private, for which fair market value

must be paid for the loss in property value

c$.$ a taking regardless of who owns the dump; fair market value must be paid for the loss in

property value

d$.$ a taking regardless of who owns the dump; fair market value must be paid for the loss in

property value and compensation must be paid for the mental distress of having to deal with

the matter

e$.$ the home owner will be forced to live in the dump
