Answer 1

Answer :

Eminent Domain Takings For Private Development:

The government has the right to take your property under eminent domain so long as it is necessary for public use and the government provides you just compensation. However, the government has a history of abusing this process - also known as "condemnation" or "land condemnation" - by taking property to give to private developers.

There have been examples of eminent domain takings that involve the government condemning private property to give to private developers throughout the country. The Institute for Justice in Washington compiled a report that documented dozens of such instances, including:

1)In Atlantic City, a middle-class neighborhood was condemned so that private developers could build a tunnel to a new casino.

2)In Bremerton, Washington, the government seized the home of a woman in her 80s (who had lived in the home for 55 years), claiming that the property would be used to expand a sewer plant. The property was given to an auto dealership instead.
