I caught a little bit of a Nader speech on CSPAN this evening. He was talking about how, in Detroit, the city condemned a neighborhood via eminent domain in order for GM to build a GM plant.

I agree with Nader 100% on this issue, it is morally wrong for government to condemn private property through eminent domain for the use of the private sector.

Not just morally wrong, but a violation of due process.

This is the law in Virginia, always has been. It used to be the law in every state in the Union.

Nader called it "corporate welfare." He's right. It needs to stop.

I mention it in the context of Walmart because keeping out Walmart in order to promote local business is also corporate welfare, and it's morally wrong, and legally wrong, too.

Mazza Gallerie, by the way, sucks as a mall. I say this as a second generation mall rat, parent of third generation mall rats. No parking. Malls need parking.

No true suburbanite would be impressed by Mazza Gallerie. Lots of upscale shops, no place to park. Thumbs down.
