The city of Pittsburgh is famous for eminent domain. We've been trying to revitalize our image from being a steel city (meanwhile we haven't had a working steel factory in 30 years). A lot of the run down areas were torn down 10 years ago with much controversy. In Homestead they made malls and new homes on these properties. This might make the ruling national but this definatly has been going on in Pittsburgh for a while. However, I don't think this law is going to hit the US huge, since it is very costly.
