When people say "screw eminent domain!"

Boing Boing has a nice collection of photos and stories about people who choose not to cave into government and commercial builders and sell their homes for "the good of the community". I really think civic leaders and community planners ought to rethink the way they define the public good. Are malls really for the public good? What about not destroying existing communities and alienating citizens. I hate how eminent domain is used to screw people and really like reading stories like these.
