Wrong about the eminent domain only being used for highways. I had a pipeline come through my small slice of heaven - 50 acre ranch. They bisected it, orphaned is the technical term. They claimed eminent domain, private corporation - natural gas being piped all the way to the coast so that it could be loaded onto tankers and sold to the European market. It took them 2 YEARS to put that pipeline in the ground - a 3 ft diameter pipeline less than 500 yards from my house at 1200 psi. They made a mess of the entire easement, it still hasn’t recovered and that was 6 years ago. My property value is not the same because of that easement. I had to sell really nice cattle that I had spent time and money to raise because I didn’t have the acreage to have the grass necessary for the number of cattle for the 2 years that they f’d up my property. And I couldn’t afford the hay.
