While watching a recent flurry of shows discussing eminent domain, I saw something that made my jaw fall to the floor. Local governments forcing private property owners to sell their homes and businesses for more "desirable" companies to occupy the space.
I find this to be an erroneous use of this policy. The whole point of private ownership of property is that the government can't just come in and force you to sell. This completely undermines ownership of property.
I don't even like it when government forces you to sell your home for the "public good", nevermind to larger corporations.
What's your take on the topic?
