The only reason why I find the Kelo case even half-way reasonable was

A city can always make that argument, can't it?
Sure, it's just that some forms of the argument are stronger than
others. If this is happening in Del Mar, CA, there's no question that
the argument is silly. This was a tough case, but the *problem* I think
is that this is now quite a precedent, so we're likely to see more silly
cases get through.
The thing that worries me is that the ruling could encourage corruption.
In the past, public officials were not allowed to use eminent domain to
help a private developer, but that seems to have changed in recent years.
