Im not a big fan of eminate domain. Its very hard to take. That being said as a property owner living in an area consider prime commercial or widening roads and carving into my yard! Its a double jeopardy situation. You get screwed either way! I have a business across the street from me and I fought against it. I live in a prime commercial area only because I face a highway.
Do you have to pay higher property taxes because of your location?
