The recent Tahoe-Sierra decision states, in the sentence starting on the bottom of the second page continuing on the third.

"A permandent deprivation of all use is a taking of the parcel as a whole, but a temporary restriction causing a diminuition in value is not, for the property will recover value when the prohibition is lifted."

We're talking about a "temporary" restriction that lasted either 32 months (accoring to the majority) or 6 years (according to at least one of the dissents).

Paging anyone who teaches Finance 101. . .
