I can give numerous examples. All of the "urban renewal" projects of the 1950s, '60s, '70s,'80s, etc, for instance. The World Trade Center was built on land that was confiscated from private owners by the government using eminent domain.

In the Kelo case, the Supreme Court ruled that what applies to poor people also applies to people who are not poor.
