To avoid eminent domain abuse.

There are some good reasons discussed at their website:

Yes on 90

The Kelo decision by the SCOTUS made it constitutional to use eminent domain to take private property for redistribution to other private entities, if it was thought to benefit the tax base.They found that didn't violate the 5th A.: "...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

However, the Court said (and almost encouraged outright) that the States could restrict their eminent domain laws to a stricter standard of public use. Prop. 90 does this. You can read the official voter guide info on all these Props here. It has the text, plus the "for" and "against" arguments.

To restore lost property ownership rights. The Kelo v. New London decision turned your property ownership from alloidal title into a mere revocable leasehold.

Emminent domain has outlived it's purpose, and needs to be terminated; this is a minimum first step toward that goal.
