What about if a corporation with a history of property destruction were scheduled to come through your neighborhood? Like, say, a pipeline company?
Wouldn't you want the authorities to protect you against that danger?
- drewcoo 5y agoThey primarily protect property. But a pipeline through a neighborhood would mean my land would be seized by eminent domain. So the authorities would protect the pipeline company, who had property in the dispute. The authorities show up to help pipeline companies break treaties. Some now ex-property owner like myself wouldn't even be a speed bump.
