Once more: If you don't like this definition of "public use"...

...change the law. The Supreme Court didn't make this law. The local municipality made the law. The local municipality defined "public use". The Supreme Court refused to overturn the law or redefine its terms for the local municipality that made it. The Supreme Court pointed out that the locals had the option to put in more safeguards.

If the people want more safeguards, they will have to act. They will have to take responsibility for their own laws, and for the direction they give to the local governments which they elect. That's the whole point of self-government.
