But I don't wanna live in Burger King

Yesterday the supreme court just stepped up the power of government. They ruled that "Eminent domain" can now cover private development. Nine home owners will lose their home in Conn. Not for a new highway or off ramp. We have all seen that happen, it has been common place, as hard as it is for people, you gotta build infrastructure, and there will always be houses in the way. But how would you feel if the owner from Dennys said "I'm gonna buy your house". You tell him its not for sale, but he tells you he is going to buy it anyway and there's nothing you can do about it. This is really an outrage. Eminent Domain can now cover private development, C'mon now! The 5 out of 9 that voted for this argue that this is to revitilize a run down neighborhood, so it benefits everyone, therefore it is for "public purpose". That is absolutely ridiculous! So by that definition. If some rich guy wanted to buy your house to live there and you said no, the government should step in, since if the rich guy now lived in your house he would spend more money than you in that local neighborhood, and this would benefit everyone, that's basically the argument, isn't it?
Why was eminent domain created? its intention was so that infrastructure would not be prevented by existing homes. This was the original purpose of the law. Not so that McDonald's would have the right to buy your house. This is private sector. If it is beneficial for a strip mall to be built where these nine people live then let them offer the home owners what it would take to get them to sell. That is really what there homes are worth isn't it? Obviously people were paid off. Since this is the supreme courts ruling it sets precedence, it can now happen anywhere. I always thought that if Donald Trump wanted to buy my house I was gonna make a couple of bucks, you know, tell him its really worth $400,000. I didn't think he would be telling me how much its worth.
