(I loathe eminent domain...THAT, IMHO, is a violation of rights, usually for the enrichment of already-rich people.)

Sometimes. Mostly it’s used for public projects for which there is no other way to make them happen.

How do you build the Erie Canal? Or an Interstate road without having it zig-zag all over the place? Eminent domaine has been used in some of the best urban renewal projects, revitalizing cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia and more. Yes, it’s disruptive if you’re the victim of it, but you are fairly compensated for the loss, so it’s not as though your property is just being confiscated.
