dude columbia 2002,
if you want to criticize columbia, you have to criticize the U.S government. Columbia got this deal under eminent domain, and god knows how many times U.S government used eminent domain to further development. To nit-pick on this one instance is extremely arbitrary and unfair.

Columbia PAYED for the land they were getting to further education. If you want to complain, take it up with supreme court dude



I can criticize more than one of the parties involved. I can be disappointed that Bollinger – a supposed champion of certain freedoms set forth in our Bill of Rights – holds other of those freedoms in utter contempt. And I do have major problems with the all-too-frequent instances of states’ use of their eminent domain powers for non-public uses, as this sort of use of the eminent domain power is just business as usual for many states. (FYI, states – not the feds – hold the eminent domain power.)
