‘Fair compensation’ as to eminent domain is a very, very obscure and manipulative societal quandary. If people, especially government persons, were not involved perhaps more fair and suitable arrangements between parties could result. I am a firm believer that what I have obtained honestly is mine until I decide to share or part from. On this issue I have serious disagreement and disappointment about Trump’s caring for the ordinary persons.
I feel just the opposite. No one needs to be so attached to “Material things”. However eminent domain should always be processed through a court. For example your neighbor can not force you to sell your property so he can build a bigger house. But if the use is for public benefit such as a hospital, highway, airport, school, etc. then owner should be required to sell. And the compensation musty be substantially higher than appraised value.
