Eminent domain is the power of a state or a national government to take private property for public use. It can be legislatively delegated by state governments to municipalities, government subdivisions, or even to private persons or corporations, when they are authorized to exercise the functions of public character. Opponents, including Conservatives and Libertarians in New Hampshire, oppose giving the government the power to seize property for private projects, like casinos. Proponents, including advocates of oil pipelines and national parks, argue that the construction of roads and schools would not be possible if the government could not seize land under eminent domain.

Yes, but only for corporate and business private property and only for public projects and never for private projects.
The compensation should be drastically above fair market price, only for small businesses and homeowners
No, unless the government and a landowner come to a specific agreement that compensates the landowner fairly. The land should then be used for a public project, such as a park.
@9FK9V5JProgressive2yrs2Y
Yes, but provide shelter and compensation 20% above market price

Yes and why bother to compensate them. Seize all means of production.

No, because it disproportionately impacts black neighborhoods and other minority neighborhoods.
@933BVX33yrs3Y
Yes, as long as landowners are consenting and fairly compensated.
@7L8WQDLIndependent4yrs4Y
No. only in extreme cases of national emergency
No, unless if the owner is severely harming the property and people on/around the property
Yes, as long as the landowners agree to the compensation.

It depends on multiple things.
