Without it you get one person holding up the benefit of hundreds of thousands. It is necessary when used properly. It must not be overused or abused. or you could be Japan without eminent domain and have farms in between taxiways at the second Tokyo airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 I am a civil engineer and have designed plenty of things that required cities buying strips of land from people for fair market value. Never an entire lot/home though, just little strips for now. Some people on a SLC project are about to lose 5’ off the front of their property, so that we can widen their 18’ wide road and put a sidewalk in.

Any business that wants me to use their services but I have to go through an app to do so can kiss my honkey ass (unless that is the ONLY option). Don't get me started on scanning a QR code to get a menu at a restaurant. Eff that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 So Camry's are all hybrids now. They do a roughly 6.0s 0to60 time and get 50mpg at the same time. That's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
