Why is "confiscating" in quotes? Is that not exactly what eminent domain takings are?

You generally don’t get paid ~market rate for confiscations.

The constitution says the government cant confiscate anything without due process, so not sure why thats relevant.

You said you don’t get market rate.

I was saying that you get paid approximately market rate, which makes it obviously not merely "confiscation", ergo using scare quotes "confiscation" to describe eminent domain is pretty reasonable.

I take the view that land is not chattel and they should not be conflated.
