If I forced you to sell your home and said you couldn't live there anymore, and if you refused to move, we would tear your house down. Would you then say that I am banning you from living in your home? Kinda feels like a ban, even though it's just a forced sell.

That’s similar to eminent domain, a right granted to the government in the constitution.

Eminent domain requires a fair price and it's for public infrastructure. This isn't, this is just an app.
