More Quotes from Dana Berliner:
Across the nation, cities and developers are fighting very hard to hold on to their power to confiscate other people's homes and businesses for private development. There is overwhelming public support for an end to eminent domain abuse.

It's the right thing to do, and it also makes sense as a business decision. These projects are so wildly unpopular, they're going to encounter political opposition and maybe litigation, and they often don't work anyway.
