Eminent domain

One thing that nearly every homeowner fears is the ability of the government to declare the right of eminent domain. This is when the law allows land to be forcibly taken for use by the government or others to help the public at large. What it usually means is that homeowners are forced to sell their property even if they don’t want to.

While I believe that in a true emergency the government should have the right to use your land, I feel this law has been abused. There are many cases where the courts are granting large companies the right to others property for little reason else than profit. I think everyone should check into this situation and voice their opinion.
