Abstract

A new transportation facility affects not only those actually displaced but also the community itself. Not all of the detrimental effects of the improvement are compensable, because many effects cannot be measured and certain inherent risks are involved in operating a free enterprise system. Displacement for transportation or urban improvements has an impact not merely on those displaced but, in a housing shortage area, on the total housing market.
