What's worse is when they don't do it willingly. i.e. a city ordinance
enacted *after* the owner has bought his property. Or a city that
takes in areas, against the will of its residents, and imposes its
taxes and ordinances on those property owners. They can do it without
a vote by the residents of the area being taken. And not even a vote
by the citizens of the city. The city administration can just do it
with no agreement from anyone and no recourse for anyone .... that's
what really sucks.

Agreed.

And with the recent rulings that condemnation can be undertaken for
the purpose of commercial gain and augmentation of the tax base.....

...... well, I'll just stop with saying, "That's just wrong."
