I understand your position, that the state should compensate waterfront owners because their land is less valuable now that its "in current use". However, you would have a very hard time making the case. In fact, I could argue the exact opposite; my property, which is across the lake from yours, is worth more now that my view is not impeded by your ugly garage.
