Property Rights Hurt by Supreme Court Ruling

Court: Homes Can Be Taken For Private Development


I can't believe the power this gives local government. Not only can they use eminent domain for public uses, but now, let's say a developer makes a fantastic proposal to the city to take your area for economic development, promising big tax revenue, they can now take your home even against your will.... And it's not against the constitution! Wow. This really sucks for property rights.
