Reason, July, 2004 by Charles Oliver

When Hyundai wanted to build a test track in California City, California, the local government seized 700 acres of land under a state law allowing it to condemn land that is "urbanized and blighted," even though the land is mostly pristine desert. About those who objected, Mayor Larry Adams said, "I think it's a matter of one or two [who] probably are true believers in the freedom of mankind, blah blah blah, and they don't like eminent domain."
