We have lived in urban neighborhood for thirty years and have never had a problem with people other than the boyfriends/husbands of my daughter and granddaughter trying to steal my stuff. This issue is hardly a state matter and we have  dealt with it privately.

Not much, which is why I don’t own any. Do you?

I already do.

Sound to me that you are the folks who threatening  to take property that is not yours. Are you frustrated with the hand you were dealt and want to take mine? Is that it?

But the government will at times take property that isn't theirs. It's called eminent domain, and is usually pure evil. Up until the well-known Kelo case in New London, CT it was damn near impossible to fight against until a progressive legal outfit titled Institute for Justice took on the case of this woman who thought her home was her castle until the government decided it wasn't. The story was even made into a movie titled "Little Pink House" (no relation to the song by John Mellencamp). That case was only a moderate wake up call however as the US Supreme Court declined to get involved in the case. Ms. Kelo scored only a partial victory as she got to keep her house but it was moved to a new location. And in Joliet, IL, a southwest suburb of Chicago, homes were lost in a quick take action to make way for a minor league baseball stadium.  IJ has scored other victories in the fight against eminent domain abuse since the Kelo case.

The dude must not live in a backwards blue city like Minneapolis yet.
