As popular as it has become to be outraged by eminent domain, there does exist occasions when it is either necessary, or meets the criteria established locally. Construction of freeways, or airports and even schools are often legitimate reasons for eminent domain.

Sure...I can agree with that. But...it should be done fairly...and it should be done rarely.

But the use of e.d. for a private development (as in Conneticutt) is not. This case seems to combine questionable tactics and methodology with what may or may not be a legitimate use of e.d. But anyone who lives near a major University should be aware that expansion is highly probable.

Which is why I said: "with what may or may not be a legitimate use of e.d."

Apparently there are those who feel it is a legitimate use. I do not have enough information to make that assessment.
