Define "just compensation." I would argue that the only "just compensation" is that which the property owner voluntarily accepts.
That's not what the founding fathers meant by the term, so you're in a disagreement with them. I would define just compensation as the market value of the land plus cost of moving and relocating. That's what has always been meant by the term in this context. Sometimes the government needs to take land for public goods like roads, only anarchists like you disagree with this.
