Why should it cost anyone $5000 to deal with the city that is supposed to protect your home and business?

I was always taught that "eminent domain" was for a government agency to do things for the greater good of the community -- roads, schools, drainage, etc. What right does a podunk city have to destroy a 94 year old man's home and business to build a strip mall?

BTW, those questions are rhetorical.

The KELO decision by the Supremes was the worst decision in this country’s 250 +++ years.
