I'm surprised that no government in the US has tried to seize privately-owned firearms under #EminentDomain. At least, I haven't heard of a jurisdiction attempting that approach.
Tennessee is already in the spotlight for racism. I think this story also deserves national attention.

When #NASA was formed, land on the small community around Cape Canaveral on Merritt Island, was seized by the #US federal government via #EminentDomain and given to the new agency for its #Moonshot.
After landowners were paid and left, structures were mostly demolished, though traces remain, like this remnant of a #citrus #orchard.
NASA didn’t end up using this land, so it became the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.

Forced
Unfairly, cruelly
To surrender what they own
Retired now homeless
Outrage

Ideally, one would get all the shore communities together in the same room and hash out an agreement that nobody is happy with but everyone can live with. Maybe they tried that.
But the cables have to come ashore *somewhere*, and the speed of the #EnergyTransition matters, a lot.
Think about it: if we were talking about oil or gas pipelines they would just use #EminentDomain. rules to get it in place.

to take somebodys property for a project nobody wants just because you, a government, have won a grant that will bring in some large amount of money if this unwanted thing gets built is an abuse of #eminentdomain
but something like that is happening today in morgantown #wv
#WhoKnew there were areas of the #USA where you could #ownProperty and even #HaveACabin or #HaveAHome but be #Landlocked out of it later by #BLM or other #governmentagencies?
#ProtectingTheEnvironment and #salmonFisheries/#SalmonSpawningAreas is very important,and clearly a lot of work and some money would be required to either #RestoreTheTrail they used to use or #ClearANewTrail, but these folks need to be able to #accessProperty they own and used to be able to use. The #FederalBureaucracy effectively using #EminentDomain doesn't seem fair in these cases.

https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/08/ohio-courts-shoot-down-towns-attempt-to-impose-a-netflix-tax/ "..the courts are correct that Netflix and Hulu should not be taxed as traditional TV providers under the law, because they’re not traditional pay TV providers under the law. At the same time, many of these towns and cities have been screwed over by traditional pay TV and broadband providers for most of the last few decades, with no real reform or recourse". #netflix #TV #broadband #telcos #EminentDomain

I have migrated so here is my 2nd go at an #introduction
I live in the #PNW #Seattle area & I am a #parent to 1 #teen , 2 #toddlers , 2 #BlackCats , 1 #dog , & 4 #chickens
I lost my dream home to #EminentDomain in 2021 & have been trying to rebuild/recover. Hope to finish repairs on the fence & barn so we can get #goats in 2023!
We love to #read in this house. Always happy for #BookRecommendations - especially for the kids - we consume tons of #YA , #BoardBooks , & #PictureBooks

Very interesting history of how Boston took over, demolished and built over the #WestEnd neighborhood using a clause called #EminentDomain to claim ownership of it.
Thank you @dagurp for teaching the former local some history
