Bait and switch on U.S. taxpayers?

What are your thoughts of the use of eminent domain to acquire land for this project?
Traditionally, it was legitimate when highways were built and owned by the government.
But this one is supposedly being built by "private" enterprise.
In a way, it is no different than the recent SCOTUS ruling that has everybody pi$$ed-off.

I don't support eminent domain in this case. It's like that Marina project in Freeport, TX, that's been given the OK by the supreme court. Sure, you could say it's a public facility, but it's still being developed by private interests, which could, in time, restrict the public access, so fuhgedaboudit!
