• finding that mere diminution in value does not constitute a taking
• finding a taking where the Government’s threat to acquire property by eminent domain “paralyzed the plaintiffs’ use of and ability to sell their properties except to the [G]overnment” and prevented the plaintiffs from developing the properties
• “Plaintiffs do not allege a discrete, disposi-tive act of the government, which would make it relatively clear if a taking has occurred.”
• a reduction of a property’s value to less than a third of its original fair market value is no mere diminution in value
• “[Wjhere a taking claim is based on progressive accumulation of events and governmental actions ... whether a constitutional taking has occurred requires ad hoc determination of the peculiar facts of the ease.”
• government .actions resulted in de facto exercise of power of eminent domain
