Well...technically incorrect. A company can now petition your local government to tear down homes but ultimately it's up to your local government. This used to be applicable only under imminent domain...they could tear down your house (and pay you whatever the hell they felt like) for things like highway construction, to rebuild a shitty neighborhood, or for a park or some other publicly used facility. Now they can do it because they think your town needs a 3rd Wal Mart. Complete and total bullshit.
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm starting to agree with what the NRA used to tell people. They always said once the 2nd ammendment was taken away, others would follow. Instead now different ammendments are being ignored (namely the first ammendment) and others are right behind, ready for the constitutional axe.
