78. No. Just fucking no. You are WRONG.

Eminent domain is for public projects.

That means roads, bridges, schools, and parks.

It does not mean factories. It does not mean hotels. It does not mean condominiums. It does not mean McMansions.

If yourhypothetical factory wanted to expand, it could build itself another fucking building.

May I state something plainly? People are more important than corporations, and more deserving of protection by (and from) the government. Anyone here disagree with that?

So, why don't you provide us with even one example of a company that has been "forced out by a few obstinate property owners?

Just one?
