IS YOUR HOME SAFE?

This has me steaming.

These are not cases of the rights of a single individual being overcome by the greater rights of a great many single individuals...these are David-and-Goliath issues, where a family that has lived in its domicile for decades may be uprooted against their will in order to let a Wal-Mart, and Office Depot, or a Pfizer Pharmaceuticals building go up. They are, for the most part, cases in which the government will take away the property of a family to benefit private development. How this can be construed as "public use" I don't know. Sounds like government-sponsored thievery to me.
