Look friend. You don’t understand the “TAKINGS” clause. Eminent domain does not allow TAKINGS for private economic development. Google Justice Scalia and Kelo.

I am well aware of the difference and pointed it out in two comments I made to you. Kelo is wrong headed as wrong can be but Eminent Domain is a necessary evil. Eminent Domain can be evil if government theft at below market values are placed on your property but it requires a corrupt government to do that, a prime example is the way railroads were given great powers to steal and still effect us today. Google the Feinstein land swap deal where she managed to unload a bunch of patchwork railroad property.
