In Kelo, they argued that Fifth Amendment "public use" takings also applies to public "good" that increased taxes brings. I don't recall, but did the Supreme Court discuss the Fourth Amendment protection to be secure in one's home as a counter to governemnt takings?

I don't recall, but I doubt it. Fairly construed, the Fourth has nothing to do with takings or due process.
But not much is really evaluated fairly in the Constitution. It's quite common for a clause, or even a few words within a sentence, to be grabbed as a justification for a particular court outcome.
That's still preferable, though, to making up imaginary words and rights.
