CONDEMNATION: BALANCING PROGRESS AND PROPERTY RIGHTS

Condemnation is a legal process that allows the government to take private property for public use.

The government must provide just compensation to the property owner.

Condemnation is often used for public projects such as highways, schools, and parks.

Property owners have the right to challenge the government's decision to condemn their property.

The government must prove that the condemnation is necessary for public use and that there are no other viable options.

Condemnation can be controversial as it can displace people from their homes and businesses.

Balancing progress and property rights is a delicate issue that requires careful consideration and negotiation.
