Text: As an initial matter, we consider whether ELIHPA constituted a taking. The owners do not separately argue that ELIHPA constitutes a taking, and there is no basis for treating ELIHPA and LIHPRHA the same. ELIHPA was a temporary restriction that was enacted on February 5, 1988, and was only in effect until LIHPRHA was enacted on November 28, 1990. None of the owners' twenty-year prepayment deadlines expired during the period that ELIHPA was in effect, and the owners that entered into use agreements all signed the agreements well after LIHPRHA was enacted. [12] There has been no showing that ELIHPA restricted the plaintiff owners' freedom of action in any meaningful way. See Greenbrier v. United States, 193 F.3d 1348, 1357 (Fed.Cir.1999) (In order to successfully assert a regulatory takings claim, the Owners must establish . . . that the regulation has in substance `taken' their property by going `too far. . . .'). Accordingly, we find that ELIHPA did not effectuate a taking with respect to these owners.
