Anecdotal but my (Chinese) friend was driving me through Beijing, and pointed to this MASSIVE housing complex, and said the farmers who were displaced were VERY well compensated. I don't have citations, but it's probably one of those stories that everyone who lives there knows about.
That's horrendous. Imminent domain, yet another reason for why Amerikkka ought to burn.
In theory, imminent domain is great when used by a socialist government to build public works projects that benefit everyone.
Under a bourgeoisie government, it is used to justify theft.
Bingo. How the hell are you supposed to build trains without imminent domain? :traingang:
Yeah, for sure. I get the purpose of it and why it's needed for a functional state to maintain itself.
Unfortunately, that's the not the kind of country Amerikkka is.

Yeah, perfect example. If my family has been compensated fairly, then we could have rebuilt our home some place new…
