RE: My Front Yards Being Taken By Eminent Domain
I guess until something like that happens directly to you, it never gets the attention it deserves. What is disturbing for me is that private corporations do it too like you had written. I went up to Standing Rock last fall for a bit and saw private corporations not only using eminent domain, but then witnessed the deployment of oil police/soldiers (couldn't tell which if you know what I mean) to suppress the opposition.
I hope this post makes up some of the difference for you :)
Hey buddy thanks for the comment. Honestly I'm a big proponent of freedom and government staying out of our lives so I personally had strong feelings about eminent domain prior to this happening to me but yeah definately hits close to home now.
Fortunately it's not like they are taking my entire home or taking my childhood home or anything like that, it's just a piece of my yard, I still have the rest of my property but some people aren't that fortunate.
I think someone did a movie a while back called little pink house I believe it was called about this very issue. I've been meaning to check it out.
