BTW...1st strike was Kelo. Trump was wrong. Choa is # 2.
I have stood behind him ALL the way, so I don’t need the preaching. I worked my ass off. I will NOT make excuses for Trump, Bush, you, me or anyone else when they’re wrong.
Yep, and if there was no eminant domain, we wouldn’t have any highways, football, baseball, basketball, soccer stadiums, civic auditoriums, power plants, large shopping centers, hotels, power grid towers, gas and oil pipelines, railroads, airports, k-12th grade schools, universities, hospitals...
Folks, you are blaming Trump for something that existed long before he came around, and will last centuries into the future.
You may not like eminent domain, but it is a very good tool at times. In Los Angeles there was a slum overlooking the city. The city used eminent domain to provide the Los Angeles Dodgers a new home. It eliminated the shanty town, and cleaned up the area. This improved the property values of homes near the shanty town. It also brought in a lot of revenue into the city. It’s been going strong since the first game opening day - April 10, 1962 - when the Dodgers finally played in their new home before 52,564 fans.
Not everything government does is evil.
When Trump or another large entrepreneur goes to court on these issues, it’s to support an intended enterprise that will employ thousands of people who will be able to purchase or rent homes. Should one family prevent thousands of others from having a chance at a dream they can pay for?
You may not be in as good a position as others to use this little test, but it would be interesting for folks who get about town a lot every day, to consider how many things they do in a day, week, month, and year that is made possible by eminent domain.
