Propositions 98 & 99: Eminent Domain & Rent Control
Propositions 98 and 99 deal with the issues of eminent domain, the right of the government to take private property for public use, and rent control. The recent rise in concern over eminent domain was sparked by a Supreme Court ruling that said that the government had the right to take private property from one owner and give it to another private entity for the purpose of economic development.
The issue of rent control has been brought into the debate due to the argument that both eminent domain and rent control are property rights issues, and those supporting Propositions 98 and 99 are presenting their arguments on both of these issues. What do you think about eminent domain and rent control? Let us know in our blog comments!
