Like a few other laws, this is more about proper use and regulation than outright repeal but until I see it used properly, eminent domain should go.
I can't remember one use of this law, at least anywhere around me, that was used for a good purpose. The most recent threat to use the law around here was so the city could demolish two houses to expand a parking lot. It never came to that but I was disappointed that the city thought that extending a parking lot a few feet was worth acquiring these properties.
