Question of the day. Question number one: The Seddon family purchased the largest and most expensive house in a new subdivision. Five years later, when they were ready to move, they discovered the monetary value of the home had gone up proportionately less than the other houses in the neighborhood. This phenomenon is an example of the principle of A substitution, B change, C regression, D diminishing return. The answer is C. Regression. The regression principle is the reason people are cautioned against owning the most expensive house in the neighborhood. It's an observation of the fact that lower-priced homes and commercial buildings have a much greater downward pull on the value of higher-end properties than the other way around. Question number 2. The right of eminent domain refers to: A. An institution or individual acquiring land by grant from the government. B. The right of every American citizen to own property. C. The government's right to acquire or authorize others to acquire title to property for public use. D. An organization's right to condemn property pending an improvement that is for the good of the community. The answer is C. The government's right to acquire or authorize others to acquire title to property for public use. Eminent domain is the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation.
