Ok hoss you wake me up when Knoxville looks anything like San Francisco.

Y'all are so ****ing scared of amy form of change. You also act like crime and homelessness only started happening recently. Quit being a p**sy and realize the world isn't here to cater to your own personal utopia. Knoxville's flaws have been around for decades.

Ironic that you call me a pussy and you probably own a few pu$$y hats.

Drive down North Broadway and try again. That mess has not been around for decades.

I don't own any, and I certainly don't fear going out my door or living amongst people who do. That's not what irony is at all but it's glaringly obvious you are not prone to knowing about that which you rant.

I'm 30 and I remember riding to church downtown and those homeless folks and the mission being right there. 25+ years would qualify as decades.

In fact, if you want to talk about that neighborhood, let's talk about how Central/Broadway is now versus, say, 10 years ago? You could argue that it has undergone the biggest turnaround in Knoxville during that span.

I'm starting to think you don't ever leave your trailer, if you live here.

You're a fool if you think that the number of homeless congregating in the mission district today is comparable to 25 years ago.

Funny that you're such a social justice warrior yet make fun of people living in trailers. Typical liberal hypocrisy.

Wait. Do SJW not get to make fun of trailers? Fuggit, I'm out.

I'm going to miss the comprehensive vision and dental plan.

No it doesn't hence "end of the property". The wall is going up right on the Mexican border. There is not land on the opposite side the homeowner owns.

Wrong. Devil's in the details. Many ranchers and farmers would be cut off from their water supply (the Rio Grande), too.

"The Rio Grande creates a natural barrier along nearly two-thirds of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border, and its looping bends and circuitous course make it nearly impossible to build a lineal barrier along the international boundary.

Instead, much fencing will be set atop the earthen levees, many built decades ago, that were installed to control seasonal flooding. Because the distance between the levees and the banks of the Rio Grande can be a half-mile or more in some areas, landowners have expressed concern that a barrier would create large swaths of “no man’s land” where privately held land will be walled off between the barrier and the river. Such land is likely to be devalued and in other cases could become useless to owners."

Our borders are the only place I think our government should have the right to seize property and only the amount necessary to protect our country . This is where I fall into the hypocrite category. I’m against big government being able to take from us but in the case of our borders I believe they should be able to have what they need to defend them .

I believe in an open and free border. Unless your neighbors are corrupt and it leads to a compromise of sovereignty. Any means must be taken to protect that.

Go google to see if you own the mineral rights on your property and then ask how much of your land you truly own.

I bet over half on here don’t own the ground one inch under the grass.

Torn about this.

I think there are two separate issues people are grabbing on.

1. Seizure of land.
2. Building of the wall.

I dont think some would have an issue if the land was being seized if a park was going in. Or the world's longest solar farm. Or to build immigration processing building to get anyone approved. Or the afore mentioned road.

So in that case people dont like the wall.


Several people are just against land seizure in general, which has merit. I think at some point the government has that power, but I dont think the wall is that point. Maybe it just because I grew up with it but I look at TVA as an example of where i believe the government has the power.

In the '30s when they built Claytor Lake Dam AEP ran electric lines across our farm, no payment, no nothing so disdain for eminent domain has been passed down. When Colonial ran a gas pipeline through a part of the farm my dad planned on fighting it but they ended up working out a good deal and everyone was happy.

There's no legal dispute that this land can be taken by the government. The takings clause clearly permits it. The landowners can make the process expensive and time consuming, but they can't stop it.
