Taking personal property like someone’s house is theft.

That is not what Eminent Domain was meant for. It was used to make roads, furnish living quarters for our soldiers, and other projects. A few years ago the law was changed so that personal property could be confiscated and sold to developers to make things like shopping malls.

What it should be used for is confiscating the property where the mosque is to be built close to ground zero, and tell the muzzies to look elsewhere.

I guess Day Street is destined to begone soon.

If your house is declared a public nuisance it probably is a public nuisance. I would say that in most cases the house is either empty or owned by a slumlord.

I was talking to a guy yesterday who said he had family in Pennsylvania that lived on a family farm for anumber of years. In the 70’s he thought, the government forced them off the land because they were going to build a dam. To this day there is no dam there, and he said it’s a dumping ground for trash and junk now. Pretty sad. Thanks guvmnt.

Leftists hate private property. They only “allow” us to “own” our houses because they can collect property taxes from us. But really, they own our property and can do whatever they want with it.
You really don’t own anything. The government owns it and out of the kindness and goodness of its benevolent heart lets you use it until it stops letting you use it.

“due to poor design, obsolescence, or neglect.....

The Brady Bunch house is obsolescent...suppose the government has a right to take that land too and give Mike and Carol the demo bill....
