I was raised in Washington, DC. My mother owned 4 rooming houses in one block. The government declared Emminent Domain, seized all the properties, then immediately condemned the properties and ended up paying the owners mere pennies. That's how they acquired the huge space they wanted for the new Government Accounting Office (GAO). The owners lost their shirts. My mother was suddenly poor. I never forgave the US Government for that one. Don't ever think they act in your best interest. They don't. You'll notice I no longer live there. That's why. Best wishes.
