Makes a portion of his property unusable as far as building or buildovers go. Depending on his property and the line, it may also devalue it significantly. I wonder if they offered him an honest sum of money for permanent use of his land and the likely many more ROW footage on either side of the actual line?

My ROW experience is limited to Oil & Gas pipelines, and they usually are 30' wide. The question of whether this waterline ROW project specified footage on both sides of the line or 2/3's on one side of the line, or 50/50, and the total width I can't answer. 

I'm also ignorant of the per rod value Dallas is willing to pay, but I've never heard of ROW being bought for any less that fair market value and it's usually much more. It's cheaper to pay an attractive price to begin with than it is to go to court...and that's for O&G companies that have to actually pay the legal bills. Municipalities incur no legal fees so they could theoretically pay even more for the easement.

You being a communist is incidental.  Got it.

I'm sure hard liners in the old soviet union thought you couldn't run a society without state-owned farms, factories, water treatment, power plants, and everything else necessary for life, too.

But we get it.   Anyone who doesn't buy into your level of appropriate government force is an anarchist.   And they hate roads, too.
