> Stronger property rights

Does the UK have stronger property rights than, for instance, Norway that was mentioned by another contributor here as being so much more efficient? Yet Norway has abandoned, for now at least, the south western half of the Oslo to Drammen E18 road upgrade because buying out the owners of expensive houses on the route would be too expensive.

Are you claiming that other comparable democracies have such weak property rights that this significantly affects infrastructure projects? Which ones?
