You’re not kidding! If someone came along and offered me a million dollars for my house, I would take it and run and not look back!

In most cases, eminent domain does what it was designed to do....to have a beneficial effect raising people out of ghettos and slums into better housing and thriving environments w/ better schools.

REFERENCE---A 2007 study by the Institute for Land Justice, a think-tank opposed to eminent domain, listed what it said were disparate effects of eminent domain.

Taken together, more residents in areas targeted by eminent domain are ethnic or racial minorities, who have completed significantly less education, and live on significantly less income; more of them live at or below the federal poverty line, as quoted in the International Business Times.
