Eminent domain under the 5th Amendment If a town needs a new road and it’s okay to seize property

to build the road, or a town needs a school and it’s okay to seize property to

build a school, then why, if a town needs jobs and increased tax revenue, is it

not okay to seize property to create the same?

Is it easier to justify taking lower class homes due to

cost? Consider that when the government seizes homes, compensation is provided

at what is supposed to be fair market value Obviously, it is a lot more cost

effective to purchase a block of $50,000 homes than to buy a block of

million-dollar homes Does this difference justify taking homes in poorer areas

for public works projects?
