You have to agree it makes a lot of economic sense for cities to use eminent domain to acquire underutilized housing stock and hand it over to FAANG companies to house their workers.

Didn’t you just say this in another reply when you are arguing against my idea that people who couldn’t afford housing in CA as it is now could leave?

One of the arguments for forcing Native Americans onto reservations was that it would free up the land for more productive uses.

So now we should just march granny across the United States and set up reservations for old people?

People in this thread are saying that sort of thing but just about people they consider expendable. Not me.
