The eminent domain debate: Californians losing homes, businesses to development

The Sacramento Bee covers the fallout from Kelo in California:

Some experts say it can't happen in California, but the homeowners' nightmare spotlighted by a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision already is happening here in one city after another.

Homes, as well as small businesses and some fairly big ones, are condemned by public redevelopment agencies, and the land is sold to other private parties.

State laws restricting these land grabs to blighted urban property are porous and hard to enforce.

It's time to realize that eminent domain is inconsistent with private property rights and freedom.Nothing can restrain eminent domain other than its' elimination.This is well worth reading to know what kind of outrageous abuses of power are happening in California.
