Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The purpose of condemnation is to ensure that public entities obtain land needed for public purposes to benefit the community. Public entities have the right and the duty to act swiftly in condemnation proceedings for the public health, safety, and welfare. And land is not fungible. Public entities may not simply go to another vendor for the same or similar widgets such as paper clips. The Legislature has provided that if a public entity is forced into eminent domain litigation, it should settle with as many owners as swiftly as possible to minimize the costs, uncertainties and time to obtain such needed land. Private holders of rights of first refusal may not thwart such public purposes by forcing the owner or the subsequent public entity to sell it to them.”
