Unbelievable.
Once again, I state, you do not understand the reason for the furor. This is NOT about money
Don't waste your time arguing with a lawyer who has been long indoctrinated into the idea that morality comes from the complex legal structures that the lawyers have been paid to make, and not from any sort of timeless principals.
I understand the argument is indeed about private propety rights, and again, I make no personal insult to you. But do you pay property taxes? If so, then do you understand that if you do not pay them, the government will sell your property for you to private investors? So who owns your property now? If you rent from the government, the government in fact already owns it.
This all started along time ago, and to argue about the incidentals is bad enough, without characterizing the argument poorly and inaccurately. All the articles I have read make the implication that the property is taken without compensation. In fact, those who take up the hue and cry on that basis and belief are ignorant of the law, and immediately lose their credibility to help solve the problem.
So, until we demonstrate some understanding of the law as it is, stop arguing in half truths and in personal attacks, we have no ability to state our position well and credibly.
I am not saying that any eminent domain is just or that this decision is correct. But an understanding of the facts and the law will be required to correct things.
