Help! Questions regarding city appraisal and acquisition of property from property owners of Charlotte!?

Yes, the city of Charlotte is planning to purchase your parent's home and land to use for a public project. Preventing the appraiser from entering your property will not make any difference, except it might prevent him from properly evaluating the property. Additionally, he has the law on his side, so when he returns, he will probably be accompanied by a police officer. Unfortunately, there is very little homeowners can do to prevent their property from being purchased by cities once they decide they want it. It's called Eminent Domain, and if people hold out for more money, the city will simply have the land condemned and the residents removed by law officers.
