eminent domain is a slippery slope in this case. It should only be used for redevelopment when it comes to stubborn landlords and tenants refusing to improve condemned/dangerous structures, not to acquire extra funding for a state agenda. Of course Penn Station is an embarrassment, but that can be solved without stripping land away from those who own it. Sure, there is overcrowding, but there would need to be regular stampede deaths in Penn to convince me that this is the just course of action.
