eminent domain
Where the Palomar Trolley Center now is used to be a tomato field, house, church and business. There was a trailer repair business there. The only one in the area. Eminent Domain took these properties and caused the forced eviction of the previous owners. One wonders why this important successful small business could not have been incorporated into the center some how, but this is not how redevelopment has worked in Chula Vista in the past.
