But here in order to make efficient roads, we have to use eminent domain.
The Kelo case allows government to use its eminent domain powers on the behalf of private companies. Why couldn’t a private road builder borrow this government power?
Why do you assume I support the Court’s decision? All I did was state that under current United States law, Houshalter’s objection was possible to overcome.
The government does use private contracters in many cases for different projects. It might work on roads, I’m not sure if they already use it, but its still alot differnet from asking a private corporation to decide when and where to build roads.
They do. And private corporations or councils already decide where to build the roads for some things, it’s just that all of those things only work if they’re already connected to other infrastructure, which, in the US, means public federal, state and locally built roads.
