> Eminent Domain is a real thing.
It's technically a thing but totally not a thing in the context of my comment and this topic in general. I doubt you'll make a case that China, Russia, or for that matter, even Austria have stronger private property rights than the US. Remember, the origination story of the US revolves around private land ownership attracting European migrants who were fed up with European feudalism. I am sure there are some carveouts here and there, but they are remarkably minimal to the point that it's sometimes worth making an observation without adding a bunch of footnotes.
- pchristensen 6y agoOther countries, notably Japan but others that escape my memory, have stronger property rights because the government has weaker power of eminent domain. This has more details, see the section about Japan - https://pedestrianobservations.com/2018/02/02/civil-service-racism-and-cost-control/ https://pedestrianobservations.com/2018/02/02/civil-service-...
