Eminent domain? Never heard of it! Sounds like a fantasy from the "economical illiterate."
Edit: This entire thread is a trash fire, by the way. I'm only highlighting the silliest bit from one of the more aggressive landlords.

oh my god internet landlords are the whiniest fucks
fucking hate when General Mills raises the fee on the cereal in my stomach higher than I can afford, so they call the sheriff and a surgeon to get it out of me
of course these landed fucking gentry don’t get why they’re so broadly hated by almost everyone who’s ever had to rent. they sure as fuck are going to show their ass as a privileged class with this “but what about my investment hmmmmm????” shit, usually directed toward folk who’ll never be able to afford anything resembling an investment thanks to them
oh you can’t take my land though, that’d be s-s-s-socialism! no shit pissboy

double post because I’m fucking pissed actually
so the orange site believes that AI gods, room temperature superconductivity, practical fusion, and mars bases are literally moments away if only we capitalism harder, but public housing that doesn’t suck is an impossibility? the tech industry can go fuck itself

Imagine that, investment having a risk associated with it!

The anti bussing stuff higher in the thread is super common. It's incredibly frustrating how people can't look past their own narrow idea of their self interests. And I guarantee you that they'd be pissed if you called them pro segregation even though they literally are.
The landlord shit is just funny because it's so stupid.

A landlord proudly declaring they are productive, right before unironically whining about "educated people" lacking common sense. Wow...
