Fighting Eminent Domain

Steve Greenhut reminds us of the theft by government:

Take a look at Long Beach, where the City Council voted 6-0 this month to take the Filipino Baptist Fellowship Church and give it to a condo developer. The church building is quite nice, by no means a blighted facility, but the property is in a prime location near downtown.

What's the difference between bankrobbers and the Long Beach City Council? The bankrobbers will not try and convince you that stealing your property is in the "public interest".
