Florida city considers eminent domain
Florida's Riviera Beach is a poor, predominantly black, coastal community that intends to revitalize its economy by using eminent domain, if necessary, to displace about 6,000 local residents and build a billion-dollar waterfront yachting and housing complex. |

This is a good idea if, and only if, they add a lot of 65+ ft slips in the marina.

thanks...
Read the article... I think eminent domain is necessary anywhere where people making $19,000 a year get to live on the beach. I'm going to be a jealous zealot on this subject... sorry. |

emminent domain is the issue that i'm least sure about in the entire current political spectrum.
I have no idea what i think, but i think we need to at least concede that we can't critize these redevelopements for being "solely" economic, as a solely economic plan clearly will have and is intened to have more far reaching consequences then generating wealth. |

I agree with. I had a very negative kneejerk response to the Kelo case. But then I realized that it the idea of using eminent domain in the fashion is very compatible with my view of economics and how to help the less fortunate. In a nutshell, I believe the best way to help people is through a combination of private aid and pursuit of economic policies conducive to growth. If the best way for the government to help someone is by creating a climate favorable economic growth in a particular region is to rezone a certain area to attract businesses , its hard for me to argue against it. I need to think through it some more but its most definitely not as simple as some have made it out to be.

If the region was really primed for economic developement, why does the government need to get involved. Can't the developers simply buy the land on the free market?
