I never said that I agreed with eminent domain or thought that it was always a good thing. I pointed out that people do get some compensation because the way it was posted it made it seem like the gov't was just taking it off of them.
The problem with eminent domain is that "public good" or "public use" is VERY liberally interpreted by the courts, so these things get taken care of.
And honeychile, i'd rather they took most of the 5th-Forbes corridor by eminent domain and knocked it all down. Hell, even if it was just ending up grass. That place is a mess. More than half the storefronts are vacant, and business that are there aren't long time family owned businesses, they're pager and fake-bling selling stores.
I do miss the old downtown of my childhood.
