February 11, 2011 2:21 pm at 2:21 pm #740195gavra_at_workParticipantI’m surprised that nobody has brought up the issue of sechirat reshut.
In a country where there is eminent domain, I believe if permission is gotten from the authorities, then this is not an issue (similar to “air rights” or “water rights”).
David1999: are you “lineman”? I am impressed!
February 11, 2011 2:53 pm at 2:53 pm #740196twistedParticipantThe eminent domain is cool stuff. The eruv I was involved with had such a grant from the boroough president. He was dead for ten years when I, by no means the posek of the operation, brought up the sechiras reshus issue. We hastily got a new issue from our congressperson.
February 11, 2011 5:18 pm at 5:18 pm #740197charliehallParticipantThe eminent domain issue is precisely the problem. In America, you can’t take someone’s property — or even deny them development rights — without paying the fair market value for it. It is in the US Constitution. In many states and localities, it requires a court hearing. How can sechirat reshut work under these circumstances?
“are you “lineman”? I am impressed! “
“lineman”‘s site is very impressive. (And thank you, David, for the compliment.)
February 11, 2011 5:42 pm at 5:42 pm #740198newhereParticipantI find it quite odd to use eminent domain as the rationale for not needing sechiras reshus. The U.S.’s eminent domain is historically one of the most pro-individual as opposed to pro-government. How could of it been an issue in the past but not now?! Also, misvara, the government can only take property for private use and there’s a very specific process, they don’t actually own your property.

February 15, 2011 2:33 am at 2:33 am #740202david1999MemberThe only issue some states have is regarding what is considered public use. However, the power of eminent domain is universal across the states.
