Eminent Domain
I hate the idea of eminent domain. I started to tell the story of my grandfather's cow pasture fences and the fight with the neighbor over them, but the story was pointless, somewhat irrelevant, and probably colored unfairly because I don't really know the whole story (since I didn't care much about the property itself at the time, and was more concerned with exactly who would have to help my dad and grandpa move the fences back a few feet...).
The Supreme Court of the United States is set to hear a case on Eminent Theft Domain on Tuesday, and I'm hoping and praying that they'll reach the right decision (that is, when you buy something, it's yours, and up to you to sell it). A wrong decision here is a huge blow to property rights, in my opinion, and would make me wary of buying a house (or land in general) anywhere near a city that could conceivably grow.
