Reply to comment by erichkutslilpp in Hotel of Terror in downtown Springfield faces condemnation by Maxwyfe

Absolutely... but the people who are for it tend to be collectivists and don't hold individual rights on the same pedestal as the "collective need" of the day, until it steps on their yard.

Many of these same types of people were up in arms about the VOTE that happened on Galloway being rezoned for instance but are somehow okay with the government saying "Bend over, this is gonna happen" when it's a gross haunted house that isn't their backyard.

I can get on board with a very select few instances of eminent domain. This one seems sus considering they don't seem to be considering the business in their offers. I don't see that business doing well in very many places. Also it seems hard to believe that little bridge cannot be repaired/replaced without requiring removal of the building.
