The local government (city, etc.) invokes emminent domain. You have to sell at the price they offer as “fair value” and move. Look at the stories in Arlington, TX when they decided to build the stadium (aka JerryWorld). Senior citizens (in their 80s) who had lived in those houses since they were married had to sell and move and did not receive enough money to buy another home. It is sad.

I had a cat who would beg for bananas. She could smell one as soon as you peeled it and would come running from wherever she was in the house.
