It is dirty business being TOLD that you will sell property, like it or not. I'm sure very few people have ever liked being subjected to it.

However, I understand it is sometimes necessary to acquire land for the greater good. But, I firmly object to private interests to have the ability to execute this on their own, simply because "It would happen anyways.".

It affords too much authority to unelected powers. To my mind this goes even further from the idea of "Government by consent." than any malfeasance at the hands of the elected.
