"...nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

This bill makes this amendment meaningless. They decide *just* compensation, but it won't work like that. Any excuse they can find to accuse you of being a *danger* to the community, i.e., a firearm in your house, polluting with a barbeque pit in your back yard, running a small business out of your home that isn't OSHA approved, anything, anything. Any excuse and they will drive you to bankruptcy trying to fight them. Even if you win, you have already lost. Your land is GONE. There is no stay in this bill to stop the government from using your land as they see fit even while you fight them.
