Eminent Domain

The latest supreme court decision on seizure of property for development is a step in the wrong direction. I understand the need of eminent domain for roads and other public projects, but to extend those rights to private developers is a bad choice. The problem is that the right contractor, with enough money and sway will now be able to have their say on what is "good" for the public, so that they can gain the rights to land etc for new development. I agree that a lot of this country could use some touching up, but not at the expense of people who make their lives in a community, only to be told they're losing their homes so a new hotel and riverfront development can go up....
