One of the worse things about eminent domain besides it being immoral is it deincentivizes property city planning zoning.

I mean if you could just bulldoze something you don't like out of the way on a dime then why would you properly plan where to put stuff without interfering with anyone else's property?

It's just a really bad policy and regardless of it being constitutional is it's unacceptable.

Private property is a right, eminent domain is unconstitutional.

just add it to the pile of laws im shocked everyone in the country hasing collectivly banned togather to get rid of becuase this kind of law puts everyones property at risk, i guess the rich wouldint really care that much cuase they can always move to an equily lavish place but the fact that everyone else is just content to ignore this blade hanging over theyre head is just weird to me... but then the average person doesint care about any damn thing thats not directly in front of them and hurting them spicificly.

What if they offered me the same amount as my loan ? In other words….. I would not get any money? Is there ways to negotiate? Thx in advance

If a nation expands socialism, would it be able to argue eminent domain to take private property and make it available for public use, such as was proposed during the pandemic to house strangers in your home if you have a spare room?
