    You think it’s mental illness? Fuck off with this bullshit. The guy lived there first. You want to build a highway through my house, get fucked. That’s what I think about that. And if they seriously did this, I’d vandalize the fuck put of it.

    Imminent domain is a scourge of a law, and shouldn’t even exist.

        Yeah, they built around the guyd house making his life a nightmare. Imagine looking out your window and all you see is concrete. That’s what this is, it’s malicious compliance. He wouldn’t sell, so they built a 20-30 fo9t concrete wall around his house.

              This is not eminent domain.

              An example of eminent domain would be the local government partnering with a judge to order the person to accept an offer on the land and home. That doesn’t mean that the offer is acceptable to the homeowner. It means that an offer was made that was accepted.

              If the homeowner doesn’t accept, he is basically removed for trespassing, handed a check, and told to leave. There are specifics in the US, which are obviously different than China.

              Could you explain how? They did not take his land, even after several offers, and instead built around it. Eminent domain they would just take the land, say this is what you’re getting, get lost.
