There was a case in Freeport, Texas this summer where the local govt was forcing sale of private property in order to let a private marina be built. Their justification I think was that it would bring in tourist dollars to the town. I don't know what the ruling was, or it's been ruled on yet, but it sure sounds like dubious reasoning to me.
