It would benefit property owners, who currently aren't being given the full rights they deserve to control development that occurs on their property. This is America, and in America we should preserve the freedoms of our citizens. By allowing governmental intervention to go forth through eminent domain, you're restricting the freedoms of landowners to develop their properties as they see fit. Government needs to stay out of people's personal lives, and simply enforce laws.
