<p>primary displacement effects of the university expansion is (eminent domain or not ) is relatively small compared to what’ll happen to 125 after the event. I’d say columbia moving pass 125th is going to have an effect on the commercial activities there, and while thats not eminent domain, it’ll force out more people than the actual expansion itself.</p>
<p>anyways, columbia’s pretty much opposed to using eminent domain, but there’s a need to maintain the threat there, or else the businesses there can just infinitely jack up the land prices since they know the university need to purchase it.</p>
