Quoted By:
South Korea has a government-owned real estate developer that will finance and build housing. It also has eminent domain rights that allow it to force landowners to sell. The only things that landowners can do are disputing assessed compensation as too low or arguing that the corporation should buy all of their land, not just the part it wants, because their land gets divided into unusable parcels. The legal process is structured that the Land and Housing Corporation can take over the disputed land and start development immediately while the legal dispute over compensation proceeds.
