Dodged yet another bullet (whew)

MIL JB's house is in sight of the local main highway.  They are in the process of converting that highway to an interstate.   The state condemned/bought the property to be part of an interchange.

What a bullet I dodged.  Even though the property was bought, Hubbie would have been very involved in the process if they had been living.  

He would have found their place to live.

Either here (which would have led to divorce)

Or

He would have bought them a new place.  A very nice expensive place.  They would neeeeed the very nice place and neeeeeeeeeed it before they got the money for their land.  And it would cost much more than the state was paying for their place.

Then when they got their money, they would not have paid him back because they would neeeeeeeed that money for something else.

How do I know this?  It happened before.
