Re: Property seizure

The government can take private property but only if it is for a public purpose, and only if it fairly compensates the property owner for the property. The Supreme Court has recently defined the term "public purpose" broadly to include private development that benefits the public.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.
