  1. But are there good uses of eminent domain ? Like, I know it's probably rare to come across, but perhaps it could be defined more firmly so there'd be an actual common metric that can be taken to justify their use, where it is entirely justifiable.

  2. I was referring to an actual, measured, preferrably quantized "common metric" ie. cost-benefit analysis, or economic internal rate of return etc. Or perhaps the planners could invent yet another metric that'd give a fair result that makes eminent domain only possible in cases where it is truly beneficial for both the public at large and the locals. Data is all abound these years, all that's left is interpretating them in a fair way.

  3. I was asking if a different method is available; ie. those that also includes socio-economic reasons rather than just finance.
