Actually, I think I was wrong the Cadillac plant is still there and it only cost 1300 homes, 140 businesses, and 6 churches. The problem I have with the idea of emminent domain is the same one I have with much of American politics. Either party would abandon property rights for the "right" reasons. They just don't care that they're messing with the little guys and sometimes the medium guys lives. People plan and save and build dreams and a way of life but if the local gov can claim an increase in revenue they think you should go somewhere else. Maybe the politicians should be evicted and moved to communities more in line with their vision.
