Pomona California eyes eminent domain programs
“The city of Pomona in California is deliberating how to solve its housing problems and is taking a closer look at use of eminent domain, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

“We believe that MRP’s proposal in particular raises very serious legal and constitutional issues, in addition to the threat it poses to the City’s housing market and economy,” the letter said.”
