Yes we are friendly to private property rights since we don't take any private property. If we want it, we have to buy it just like anyone else. We have no power to condemn private property or use eminent domain proceedings against any private property owner.
Hypothetically if we wanted a piece of property that was for sale and a developer wanted the same property, we would have to pay more or the property owner would have to WANT to sell to us (or a preservation organization).
I called you hysterical because you are hysterical.
There's the rub, Brother Reverend! Discuss with us now, how they are induced to "WANT" to sell to "us!" It's very subtle, strong and vile in far too many cases. If you'll honestly look into it, you'll discover it! It sucks canal water!!!
