although in some cases it might be imminent. eminent domain is a real sticky wicket. It is very socialist in its basis because it takes away property owners' rights, but in some ways I can see a need for it. In Narita (Tokyo's major airport) there is a family that owns a piece of land that is on the approach end of one of the runways that refused to sell. The Japanese have no eminent domain laws so they couldn't force this guy to sell. It is an EXTREMELY valuable piece of property. So the government built a wall around his property, and put up lights that keep it in perpetual daylight. It has been like this for years and he still refuses to sell. He lives in a virtual prison. Kind of funny in a way, but I admire his desire to stay there. I would have sold long ago as I am sure he was offered enough to buy his own island somewhere.Thank you
Eminent Domain for private business... uh hell to the no.
100% chance you've filled up your tank with gasoline delivered by a private pipeline (colonial pipeline specifically) that used eminent domain.
The fact that eminent domain is being discussed on a national stage and taking time away from such issues like the debt, SS, and HC is laughable. It's such a non issue
