In theory, in the case of eminent domain you get the value of your home paid. In practice… its often not enough to actually buy a similar house.

This is getting more and more difficult, sadly. Almost all new housing development is done by corporate / bulk build, which are almost always governed by HOAs

Amen… never buy a house in a HOA if you plan to actually keep and payoff said house. Even if its a “good one”, they can and do change. All it takes is a vote for your $50/mo HOA to become $1000+/mo because they want to build a golf course or do custom street signs and a pool or whatever.

On top of the other posts, archive.org is involved in a major lawsuit and its theoretically possible it would be forced to shut down depending on how big the copyright violation fines end up being, among other things.
