eminent domain much baw?

The govt will say that they can take your land or any private land. Whether or not they actually do it, is another question.

Many a moons ago, they were building this 2 lane road into a 4 lane and offered money to all the homeowners since they were going to cut into people's yard for the new road. I was a kid but I remember my dad saying that they pretty much had to take the counties offer or they would just take the land and we get no money. I think it was only a few hundred bucks at the time too.
