Welcome to politics, quantessd.

Here's some more info about blighted properties. The problem is that eminent domain laws are increasingly being interpreted to allow governments to take property from one private owner and hand it over to another private (but richer, more well connected) owner. This site shows examples of some of the properties that the government has deemed "blighted" for the purpose of redevelopment.
