[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by arbfbe futuremodal, Now that the US Supreme court has loosened the rules against immenent domain, perhaps the states, counties or even a city or two can sieze the tracks in their neighborhood to allow public access and open access in order to increase their revenues. [/quote] More than likely, the local governments would use this new right of eminent domain to take out a rail line and put in a strip mall. Commercial developments tend to generate more tax revenue than private transportation ROW's. But, in reality, I don't think you can use eminent domain to take over property that originally came about via eminent domain. Whose right of eminent domain would the courts exonerate? Can one fight an edict of eminent domain with their own eminent domain edict? Back and forth, back and forth, and the winner is the one with the best paid lawyers. The Supreme Court may have really opened up a Pandora's Box on this one!
