Eminent domain is never a good thing. Either you own property or you don't. If you own it nobody should be able to take it from you. If they can take it then you don't own it.

If there is no eminent domain then the corporation that wants to develop there will have to shell out big bucks for the properties and the owners can cash in. With eminent domain the corporation gets the land for nothing and the land owners get the shaft. It's not right. Not right by a long shot.

This bullshit belongs in communist countries and dictatorships. Not in a country that supposedly believes in a free market.
