we have to take up private lands for certain causes. think of the interstates or local highways. land was taken whether or not the owners wanted it. yes, they were compensated for the land, but they still lost the land.

i dont think the line is clear enough when the govt can take up your property in the name of public good.

to me, building a golf course doesnt warrant that they take up this land. an interestate? maybe, but i'm not 100% sure about that either.
