Eminent domain is used by the government and wealthy individuals. Pipelines, casinos, stadiums, beach front property and for ransom against government for BIG $$. In California tech billionaire Vinod Khosla bought a beachfront property in 2008 and closed the only road to get to Martins beach essentially making it private. After an eight-year legal battle Khosla said he would re-open the road if the state paid him 30 million dollars. The state has refused his offer and has not used Eminent Domain to re-claim the road, which raises the question, why isn't Eminent Domain used to take property from the wealthy? Donald loves Eminent Domain. He explains that property owners get 3 or 4 times the value when selling their property but what he doesn't say is what profit the wealthy make from using Eminent Domain. We live in a world of haves and have nots and apparently the haves have got much better lawyers. [ link to www.youtube.com (secure)]
