Discuss the legal controversy surrounding the Atlantic Yards project, especially with regards to the use of eminent domain to complete the project.

Did this project constitute a proper use of eminent domain or was it an example of eminent domain abuse?

Include in your discussion references to the Constitution, to the major Supreme Court cases pertaining to the use of eminent domain, and to the notions of public use vs. public purpose. Address both sides of this controversy and then present your own opinion as to whether this was a proper or improper use of the eminent domain power.
