    so they take/sell your house by force

    It’s a forced sale – they take your house but pay you market value for it. And it can only occur after you get an opportunity to oppose it in court.

    It’s one of those things that can be done better or worse, but it’s a power every state has because there are material constraints on where public works can be built.
