Do those residents get massive payouts for having their homes stolen?

Because I can't see any benefit to those homeowners, unless there was a massive payout that enables them to live anywhere they want for the rest of their lives.

I think gov't can expropriate property at market prices. They won't get much more than the going price for those houses. It's in the law.

It puts these residents at a major disadvantage and hardship.

I can see this causing some residents, who can no longer afford to live somewhere else, to become homeless.
