Eminent domain is used by the government and wealthy individuals. Pipelines, casinos, stadiums, beach front property and for ransom against government for BIG $$.
In California tech billionaire Vinod Khosla bought a beachfront property in 2008 and closed the only road to get to Martins beach essentially making it private. After an eight-year legal battle Khosla said he would re-open the road if the state paid him 30 million dollars. The state has refused his offer and has not used Eminent Domain to re-claim the road, which raises the question, why isn't Eminent Domain used to take property from the wealthy?
Donald loves Eminent Domain. He explains that property owners get 3 or 4 times the value when selling their property but what he doesn't say is what profit the wealthy make from using Eminent Domain.
We live in a world of haves and have nots and apparently the haves have got much better lawyers.
Quoting: Birkeland I lived near a town called Jenner on the California coast for years. We used to go down to the ocean and party all night long, big bonfires and such great fun. Over time, "rich" people moved in, and started closing off access. In essence they were saying fuck you we rule. This affected the entire area as far a community and stress relief of the working class. The people that are not interested in ownership. Free people. Very hard to take if you are not a groveling little coward. The Earth should not have all these arrogant selfish man-made boundaries IMO. Z NYC used to be one of the great cosmopolitan cities in the world. Now the very wealthy have diminished it's greatness by making it all about real estate. No longer are the arts held in such high regard. Now it's about 4 million dollar condos and 8 million dollar apartments - what a f*cking shame.
