Zack, I can appreciate your viewpoint. Perhaps my perspective is just a bit longer than yours. I remember California in the late 70's.

It is vastly different now--same with much of the PacNW. Utah was one of the choicest states I had ever been thru(din't stay, just drove thru) America has swelled in size four fold since then. Not just in people, but in business as well.

Without eminent domain there would be no infrastructure, no nothing. Everything in life has both a good side and a bad side.

I too had a "free spirit" once. Then I settled down, as they call it, and went about making the life I wanted. I dare say I have a "free spirit" now as well. The difference is I can pay for what I want, go where I want, when I want, and most importantly, how I want.

I appreciate you as a poster too Bodeless, which is why I would take the time to have an actual chat with you.
I was there in the late 70's as well. El Toro and Tustin MCAS, running wild, having parties down on the beaches in Huntington, Newport,...Laguna.
Unlike you, I have retained my free spirit. I work seasonally for the FEDS believe it or Not. With 6 other folk, we pack government mules and horses and ride out into the wilderness with axe and crosscut. Clear/build the trails.

I now live in the caldera of a once super volcano and have a horse tank filled with 155 degree hot-springs water straight from mother Earth. I walk out my back door into about half a million acres of wilderness

I left lucrative work in California for this lifestyle and I love it. Do not want to lose it, could care less about amassing wealth. There should be a place in this world for people like me.
Do not want a Trump tower anywhere near it, just because HE says so.

Anyway, Communal eminent domain is one thing, private another. Do we really need another strip mall with starbucks and panda express?
