eminent domain

This particular power is rather interesting to me. It seems pretty unfair under any circumstance to be able to strip someone of their private property and put it to public use. Yes, it may be for a really good cause and could benefit the neighborhood or city as a whole for that matter, but that is not the point. Though eminent domain cannot be proven "legal" without providing due compensation it still does not seem like anyone truly gets the amount of money they really deserve. If the city government is taking away someone's home, the place they have lived their entire life, a small sum of money will for sure not make up for stripping them of their property and the life they have been able to build for themselves. This is just one of the many reasons I find it hard to accept the concept of eminent domain and simply take it for what it is, without question and slight disapproval.
