can you tell me some good things about eminent domain?

Eminent domain is the power of the state (the government) to seize private property for the good of all the people.  In the US it can only be done if the person whose property is taken is paid a fair price for the property.\n\nIt can be good, because it allows railroads and roads to be built, for example.  Neither the interstate highways nor the railroads could ever have been built without the exercise of eminent domain.  The same is true of many public works -- hospitals, parks, national parks, police stations, etc. -- and it is good that people are compensated for the taking.\n\nThe framers of the US Constitution thought that it was good, when compensation was included.  They put it in the Constitution.

I WOULD TRY AND INVEST IT. POSSIBLY TRY AND GET REALESTATE PROPERTY. I WOULD WANT TO SEE WHAT REALESTATE  THE GOV. HAD FOR SALE. FORCLOSURES GOOD DEALS ON THAT KIND OF LAND

I was a licensed property and casualty before I became a homemaker.  I worked for State Farm.  I loved it.

Yes most definitely and that applies even today. It falls under eminent domain. The Govt. can even take your house

if its your property, you can be a good citizen and not say anything about it.or you can get your own lawyer and fight it or you could sell it.

Land used for a certain amount of time to provide access to another's property becomes tantamount to their property.  It is known as adverse possession. Actually, in this case it would become public domain and thereafter you don't have the right to close it back off when you decide you want to do so.  (If they have frontage to a road elsewhere, they need to build their gate there.)\nBe prepared to lose a chunk of your land.  Or you could close it off and offer to sell that piece if they are interested.  If nothing else, a lease of that access and a waiver in case of accidents would protect you and your property rights.  These situations can get VERY sticky, so exercise your property rights or go get a lawyer.  In some states (such as Texas) it's illegal to sell land that does not have access.

Any particular land owners you're thinking about?  In general the main advantage of owning land is that you can build stuff on it.

Read books on the subject at the local Barnes and Nobel. Also, check out this website: www.reiclub.com.\n\nDon't listen to anyone who says it can't be done in this market. In fact, if you find a good deal in San Diego and tie up the property, I'll buy it from you. \n\nRegards

It's tough to fight eminent domain.  You're probably better off just going with it.  Just remember that you absolutley cannot be left in a poorer financial situtation than you were in before the process.  See an attorney, contact your local bar association.

I don't know if it should be rebuilt the way it was. Not to be cold or anything but what I am trying to say is. Is it really smart to rebuild that city the way it was? I mean the city is a disaster waiting to happen. Perhaps some of those neighborhoods would be better returned to their natural state. I am all in favor of building and development, but rebuilding there does not make sense. I say ask the government to declare eminent domain, and make the area a park or something. Oh and notyou311 NO area has LOTS OF OIL!

If you mean to lobby a city, as in to attempt to convince them, the yes -- anyone is entitled to make suggestions to the government, even corporations or private companies.\n\nIs it legal for a city/county/state to take private property through eminent domain and give it to another private developer? See Kelo v. City of New London and the dozens of state/local laws that sprung up in reaction to that holding.

Eminent Domain (not iminent)is when the government can control the use of land directly by acquiring the property itself and exercising the prerogatives towards it. If the current ownr of the land is unwilling to sell, the government, unlike private individuals, can judically compel its transfer through an eminent domain or condemnation action. \n\nThe government must prove that there is a "public use" involved. In other words, the use of the land as to what best serves the public.\n\nThe government is required to pay just compensation for the land taken. This amount is set by a jury after an evidentary hearing.

You need two things - one, go find an independent property assessor and pay him/her to determine the true market value of the land; and, two, get an attorney and have that lawyer either negotiate the proper price, or to fight the eminent domain action sufficiently so that the court will order the government to pay the fair market value, even if they do take the property.
