yeah, they used that over here often. I think Disney got the city of Anaheim to close down some shops, fields and tore down some homes for the theme park and its eventual expansion. more recently its been used in the LA area to move people off of their beach front property to make room for a state park. i also think they used the eminent domain laws to build Dodger Stadium. it must be a terrible thing for someone or some group to have the power to actually force you to sell and vacate your own property for as little as a parking structure.
