Property grabs and similar injustices happen every day here in the USA; think about that while you watch those fireworks. Maybe you are one of those RAH, RAH, USA people who wave the flag and close your eyes to the crooked local government officials.

Yes we can, because eminent domain has been widely used in Baltimore, particularly to clear the land to build the Inner Harbor and Camden Yards. Over 5,000 people were employed in the businesses that the city used eminent domain on to clear the land to build the stadiums. I really don't think the city did all that it could to keep those relocating businesses within the city limits to keep that tax base. However, the real problem in Baltimore has been the city stealing houses from private homeowners in the name of stabilization and urban renewal.

I have no issue with this if it benefits the society as a whole!!!!!

If some big developer wants to build a high rise condo and some 86 yo granny wants to keep her ****-house in the way. The gov should give them the ability to take control of the property.
