Nonsense. How is "eminent domain", if legally applied, considered "fascist"? If her local elected body indeed decided this in accordnace with applicable laws and standards, I don't see how it is unlawful. How do you respond to the millions of residences moved or destroyed for the Federal highway or railroad systems? Was that "fascist" too?
My other remark was strictly a monetary one, in that I would gladly take 200% of my home's worth in a bubble market. With interest rates this cheap she could buy another home at record low rates and buy a 2nd home to rent and provide income...a built-in retirement account.
It's NOT legally applied, that's the point. Eminent domain can ONLY be used for public use (e.g., bridges, highways, water treatment plants, etc.). It is authorized by the Fifth amendment: "...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." There is no provision for seizure for *private* use, nor should there be.
Eminent domain cannot, by definition, be "legally applied" to seize property from one person and give it to another. Only "public use" (e.g. essential government infrastructure such as fortifications and post roads) is eligible.
