> now it feels like the government can basically commandeer your property at will. I understand it feels more salient now, but the government basically always could. They will take it over late tax payments amounting to a tiny fraction of the value. They will take it to sell it to developers, who may not ever build anything there. Cops will hound you until you leave if you meet some pre-crime criteria. Or take it outright, if you rent to someone who cultivates illegal vegetation. Or destroy it, chasing someone who might not even be in it, and you will not be reimbursed for this sort of 'taking'. I get that the eviction thing seems new, and the goal is actually somewhat novel. But 'property rights' have never been as strong as a lot of people think. (All of those things have happened fairly recently. I'm not going to spend the time finding a pile of links nearly everyone is just going to skip over.)
