Eminent domain is when the government says "we can do something better with the property you have for the public interest" and your land is no longer yours. Government for the people means that it trumps the people.
If you are lucky enough to be selected by the government to donate your land like a family near Breckenridge, Colorado you can fall asleep at night knowing how you have supported your country. This Colorado family owns 10 acres of land in a 2 million acre forrest and was helped to realize the government's overarching need for it when it was condemned first. Then there are some Minnesotans with a home on a lake that has been in their family for over 100 years. Without the assistance of our leaders, they would have probably continued to be selfish with their property for another 100 years instead of giving our state another park that everyone can use.
Our government wants it fair for everyone. I hope they start issuing travel vouchers next, I want to go hike in Colorado.
