Of course you're right but - unlike a lot of those who have commented, I agree with you most of the time - eminent domain should never come into play unless it is an absolute necessity - such as blocking a major highway or the like. I'm not sure, but in this part of the country, the price gets really high on land that the state or some other entity is trying to take by force. The point at which "for the good of the general public" as our law reads is reached, is sometimes a difficult point to acheive and when it is reached it is often a very expensive point - A golf course - not in my lifetime.
