Eminent Domain Abuse Map

The Institute for Justice has created an interactive map of eminent domain abuse across the nation. Zooming in on Missouri, we can see abuses across the state--more than a dozen in all.

My only criticism of the map is that it massively understates the scope of the problem. As alarming as the map is (with more than a dozen cases in the St. Louis area alone) the problem is even more widespread than the map indicates. I personally have talked with several different individuals facing eminent domain abuse whose cases are not represented on the map.
