For years, Coral Gables homeowner Orlando Capote has resisted attempts to buy him out, even as a new mixed-use development took over the rest of the neighborhood.

Pathetic!

If the guy doesn't want to sell that is his right.
The mixed use development is a purely commercial enterprise and is not a reason to use eminent domain and force the guy off the property.

Federal courts have held that they can force you out of your home to sell it to a commercial enterprise. Their reasoning is that the taxes that will be paid are more of a benefit than you keeping what is yours. I hate it.

While I hate eminent domain for commercial reasons , don’t you usually get offered like 2X the value?
Shoot , if somebody wanted to offer me what twice my home value is today , I gladly have the moving van there this afternoon

It's not your property if the govt wants it.

That made me a lot angrier than expected.

They should, and it can be changed if enough people want to change it.
We only need like 10-25% of the taxes and laws we have to have a functioning society

That would be a GoFundMe I’d contribute to
But I guarantee those government crooks would get that taken down with the quickness

no, hell no, its not even close
THEY, not you, decide what its worth and that is all you get for it. in most cases, if you are lucky, you maybe get 60% of what its real market value is

Our founding fathers did, but they were a bunch of boomers that lived 250 years ago. So, I guess the cool thing is to ignore their wisdom.

And OTOH, you can demand way too much to sell and they will find a way around you that still fricks you.
There is a guy in Zachary who tried demanding 3x what was offered for his property when they were going to be widening the highway as part of a development. (IIRC, he was offered about $250-300k AND a house in the new neighborhood going up to replace his on the property)
After that high a demand, they decided that they could just take the edge of his property via eminent domain rather than continue to negotiate with him.
He has had a sign up bitching about it ever since.

Some people in this thread didn't watch the video. There is nothing about eminent domain in this. It's the city levying bullshite code enforcements.
In most states you can't use eminent domain for commercial use. That's why they're hitting him with fines so they can lien his property and take it over.

Just to piss them off, I would turn my residence into a commercial business to meet code enforcement.

JPS went wild with that opinion. It always surprised me that Justice Kennedy was the swing vote with all his libertarian leanings.
I admit there is a decent argument under the 5A takings clause but it is just bad policy and many states have remedied it in their own constitution/codified law.
