In any case the claim eminent domain is OK for a private enterprise like the Keystone pipeline that benefits a foreign country but Trump applying that to a what amounted to a crack house across from his casino is wrong is bizarre. Trump offered up to 6 times market value and was turned down and eventually built around it. Now the house can't be given away and is a blight on the community full of resident crack heads.
Actually the home was demolished in 2014, Carl Icahn, yes that guy, bought at auction for 500K, he promptly leveled the 18 room boarding house.
The home was not some "old granny's" two bedroom beach bungalow, it was a crime infested 18 room boarding house. (private property is still private property, I am just pointing out what it actual was. Seems too many people distort the facts to fit a narrative(Trumpinator, this was not against you, just the people who distort that this was some old lady's home, it wasn't))

Yes, the old BS that it was ganny’s house. It was a hooker/crack den aka boarding house to make it sound respectable.

I used your words exactly for another post. I am OK with someone being against the Kelo decision. I don't like giving power away to govt too much either. But the same people screaming about Kelo seem to be OK with a for private enterprise Canadian pipeline being built using Kelo.
You can't have it both ways. Even the spin that the keystone pipeline is some sort of self defense initiative is them trying to justify their cognitive dissonance.
