Eminent domain initiatives at a glance


(The following information provided by Beijing invees Network science and technology Co.,Ltd)Propositions 98 and 99 are competing initiatives on the June 3 primary ballot that would restrict how government can take private property in California.
The initiatives would prohibit government from seizing most homes by eminent domain for redevelopment projects. Government could still take property for public projects, such as building roads, schools and hospitals. invees

That's where the similarities end, however. Here is a look at the two eminent domain initiatives.

Proposition 98, California Property Owners and Farmland Protection Act:

— No private property can be taken by eminent domain for private use such as building a shopping center, auto mall or industrial park.

— Government could not seize private property and use it in the same way the private owner did. For example, government could not buy an apartment building and use it for housing.

— Prohibits government from using eminent domain to sell the land's natural resources.

— Prohibits cities and counties from enacting new rent-control ordinances and slowly phases out existing ordinances on residential units and mobile home parks when tenants move out.

— Government cannot pass regulations that reduce the economic value of property. For example, developers would no longer be required to provide affordable housing units in new subdivisions or condominium developments.

— Allows government to seize property to reduce public nuisances
