It sounds exactly like Ho Chi Minh City here in Vietnam. The solution isn't hard -- the government uses imminent domain, takes a few metres of land on each side

It sounds exactly like Ho Chi Minh City here in Vietnam. The solution isn't hard -- the government uses imminent domain, takes a few metres of land on each side, and compensates existing owners.
- ehnto 5y agoThat's usually pretty hard. I guess it depends on your city. But imminent domain can take decades if done with a lot of community backlash.
- gameman144 5y agoNot trying to nitpick, but just a heads-up that the term is " eminent domain" (I know it's a pet-peeve when people don't correct me if I'm saying something wrong, but feel free to ignore me if you don't care).
- chupchap 5y agoGovts think thrice before taking over land as it becomes an election issue especially in a highly dense urban setting.
