I know, right? It's so moronic to not be able to afford to own land. kcr Aug 2016 #5

No, it's moronic to sink your life saving into building a house on land you don't own. linuxman Aug 2016 #8

Oh, are they just like kids crying because their sandcastle got washed away? kcr Aug 2016 #10

I'm sorry you don't understand the analogy. linuxman Aug 2016 #11

Living on land you don't own is the same as building a sand castle... Okay then. kcr Aug 2016 #16

That's why it's called an analogy. linuxman Aug 2016 #23

I don't think these people felt they had any special claim on the land. kcr Aug 2016 #27

Eminent domain stipulates that you're compensated with fair market value for the land & structures linuxman Aug 2016 #35

That's fine if the market is at the same rate it was when you bought kcr Aug 2016 #36

What if I had wheels? I'd be a wagon. linuxman Aug 2016 #37

If there is eminant domain, they pay me the fair value of my house Travis_0004 Aug 2016 #51

the more popular sentiment being rationalized is simply screw the idiots who built on the land LanternWaste Aug 2016 #64
