Yes.
That's dedication. I don't know that I would vote the same way if my life savings were claimed in the name of progress. I also voted yes, but feel I would regret it if I had to personally give up my home.
Eminent domain is common here and people rarely get a fraction of market value. A local man offered the Vista School District 10 million dollars to walk away from his property interest. Last I heard they were still planning to build a school on what had been in his family for generations.

Meh, it's just a house. It doesn't erase what happened there. That same house could be burnt to the ground by a fire tomorrow. The things that matter is who you have, not what you have.
It's just like my car. I bought a brand new car in 2005. I swear this car was bound to be destroyed. It was wrecked in June of 2007 (stopping at a red light) but fixed and then totalled by a drunk driver in December while I was completely stopped at a red light. I bought a new car in January of 2008 to replace my old car. Just a few days ago, I was sideswiped while I was parked and the guy fled the scene. You can't control the things that happen to you. Everything happens for a reason though. You just gotta trust that everything will be okay.
At least they are using the house for a good cause and not to build a road or highway.

animals. We have enough to worry about in OUR OWN country, and the well-being of OUR country depends on many of the wildlife here. Not so sound like a tree-hugger hippie or a liberal, I am definately republican, but I don't see why I should feed starving people in other countries when we have our own here.
Just wish 75% of those on welfare didnt use their checks for crack and booze

You're right, but it's still hard.

Eminent domain runs amok here. A search of "eminent domain southern california" returns a list of lawyers and lawsuits over frivolous use. I did find the issue about the school and the district did abandon the effort. Evidently the city decided the property was worth more as a housing development than a school. Bunch of crooks only see dollar signs. (where's the smiley giving the finger?)
