its not just for specific cases anymore

the courts have ruled its ok for government to take your property and even give it to other private persons/companies if they are going to do something with it that raises the value of the land, ie taking over private houses for an office complex

this ruling happened in our lifetime, the Kelo decision, summer 2005

https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/23/politics/justices-rule-cities-can-take-property-for-private-development.html

so don’t say it scare tactic

dems will use it and say scotus set the precedent
plus they will tout it as racial fairness

all of the excuses will be bullshiite

but kelo will be touted as legal justification and when libtards want to use the law as a weapon they use the law as a weapon

Last I knew, the land taken in the Kelo decision still had not been developed, though that was the reason for taking it.
