More eminent domain abuse
Eminent domain is inherently bad because it can (and often is abused). In this case, the plan is to take by force someone’s private property and give it to other private individuals:
Three streets [Marine and Ocean Terraces and Seaview Avenue, known as MTOTSA] in the redevelopment zone designated as Beachfront North, phase II, remain, that are slated for eminent domain. Plans call for the properties to be bulldozed and replaced with townhouses and condominiums
Taking someone’s property to build homes and town houses? How does that benefit the public good? What about the private good?

Arlington Texas mas mentioned Eminent Domain in talking about the land they would need for the new Dallas Cowboys stadium.
Paraphrase of the mayor “We would use eminent domain as a last resort”
wow, thanks, hate to think you would use that as plan A or B and not C or D!
