Sounds like they ended up getting a pretty good deal. [/quote]

DP. I agree. The owner who paid $5000 for an appraisal that was $2.2M, when the city offered 1.2 million for a property assessed at $241,000 the year before? He got $1.5M. The thing is, the $2.2M wouldn't have materialized without the redevelopment, and his property stood in the way of that. I don't feel as badly for these owners as I do for the low income people displaced in the area, or really across all of DC.[/quote]

But if I am owed $100,000, I am still owed $100,000 regardless if I have only $1 dollar in the bank or if I have over $1 million dollars in the bank.

That money is still owed to me.[/quote]

But if you negotiated and agreed on a certain amount, then you are only owed that amount agreed on. You are not owed the higher amount that you went in asking for. If an offer is made and accepted, then thatbis the full amount owed.
