"This land is (not) your land....."

Hello to all,
let's all take a moment to sing an old song...
(ok, just a part of the song *LOL)

"This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to...." (ok, you know how the rest goes)

I guess that song carries a bit more truth today than it did when we sang it in grade school class, your land is no longer just your land, and the "my" in the song now includes private developers who believe your chunk of the world would look better with a mall or office building on it. In a ruling today by the U.S. Supreme Court, cities can sieze privately owned property, and can sell the property to private land development interests. No longer is the rule of "eminent domain", limited to just municipal projects for the benefit of the city (highway's and schools), but is now expansive enough to allow private companies to say "this neighborhood is sure convenient in location, it would make a nice place for a mall, our new office building, or a high-rise apartment complex", and we have nothing to say about it if city officials go along with the private business proposal. What's scarier is that since the ruling came from the U.S. Supreme Court, even if city officials don't go along with the business proposal, the private company could have avenues by which to simply go around the blocking motion of the city. What happened to the American dream of home ownership? This ruling truly does stink.
