Neither do we -- but we do get some economic reimbursement, which
hopefully will be enough to buy a similar house elsewhere.
 
But Germans do have a choice!  I remember a front page of "Der Spiegel"
some decades ago, showing a German highway -- and in the middle of
the highway was a house with a small piece of land around it!  That
house-owner had refused to sell his house.  The highway made an extra
turn around his piece of land, but it passed very close.  I wonder if
he enjoyed living there....
