A polite please, or begging? If there is a to be a park built over a new neighborhood, and one person says they will not sell, will they then scrap the project? I doubt it. They will take the property for the good of the community, and that is by using eminent domain. That is the only tool the government has. So instead of making it a political thing, make it a power thing. I would be just as pissed if a Republican took over land to build a condo development. Property rights are our most sacred right in this country. The government takes those, not much else matters.

This blog post is a huge exaggeration, or even lie, which is typical of Republican propaganda. Nowhere in that article does it say that eminent domain would be used to take away people’s homes.

You could probably work a deal where you get MORE land around your home because they can bulldoze everyone elses house and you can help tend it and return it back to nature for a subsidy from the govt or something. I would personally love to do that. Take a destroyed area and put it back the way it is supposed to be. Im sure that there will be opportunity for people to keep their homes.

Things are getting real scary out there...As a member of the real estate profession I am concerned about our futures and more importantly those that are coming in behind us.

The rights of the few still dominate the rights of the many, and my guess is that the pressure to take a family's home to fulfill the politicians dreams of an uncluttered green belt will be trampled quickly. You have to recognize that these politicians are never worried about individual property rights. I am and will always be. It is the foundation of the American Way.

Do you really think that they would just take people's houses? They are giving foreclosed houses in the viable parts of town to the few people who still live in the parts of town that are going to be abandoned. Its called a trade, and its part of a solution. Are you familiar with that word? Probably not. Cause it seems like you are just another whiny, right-wing, complaining idiot. Man, they will give a forum to ANYONE nowadays.... please be a responsible citizen journalist and know about what it is that you are posting. R u really that much of an idiot?
