Freeways versus Homeowners: The Case of Eminent Domain

Published February 14, 2012 at 5:00 AM PST

The I-15 is going to be widened as part of a four phase project called Project Neon.  With the expansion some homes and businesses will have to be demolished.  When does the public good outweigh a homeowner's rights?  What sort of value do these homeowners and business owners get for their properties considering they are being forced to leave?
