China Debuts the World's Fastest Train

An anonymous reader writes "China unveiled their new high speed train that clocks in at an average of 217 mph. China's new rail service travels through 20 cities along its route, connecting central China and less developed regions to the larger and more industrial Pearl River Delhi. Seimens, Bombardier and Alstom worked together to design and build this feat of modern transportation, which topped out at a whopping 245mph (394km/h) during trial runs earlier in December."

in Kelo v. New London the plaintiffs were given market value for their property.

No, they weren't. They were given an amount that the government claimed was the market value of their property. The actual market value of any property is impossible to determine in the absence of free exchange.
