Do you support such measures, oppose them, or don't care?

Which measures? The measures of the govt. or property owners?

I would generally oppose the govt. measures, especially federal or state. Local is another whole bag. Localities and municipalities are the heart of America and from where the greatest power should derive from.

How about the local governments using eminent domain in cases not related to roads or airports or other necessary public amenities, but rather to cater to developers and to increase the tax base, or to provide for section 8 housing, or whatever other social engineering goals the local government has.

Do you think that is the proper use of eminent domain laws? Or do you think eminant domain is being abused? How about your opinion on some of the cases in the article, for example the case of Vera Coking's house trying to be seized to make way for Donald Trump's limo parking lot.
