Here is a balanced (although shallow) discussion of the former. Use of eminent domain for rights of way is, in my opinion, illegitimate and counterproductive. It destroys any potential speculative market in consolidating real estate options into rights of way, thus depriving property OWNERS from enjoying that return on their investment. Effectively, the very existence of eminent domain takings for such uses is an uncompensated taking of speculative value for public benefit. That is socialism lady. If it was truly necessary, then James J. Hill could never have put together the Great Northern Railway.
As to the latter, this is all I need.
Prove your baseless, shallow, and unsupported assertion or retract the charge.
