Well, not exactly true. They used Eminent Domain to build the Brooklyn Nets stadium and to grab the neighborhood around it. Existing tenets sued and the law said that the city could use eminent domain even if the stadium wasn't going to replace those houses in that exact footprint because the stadium was "packaged" with hosing and the proposed housing would be worth more, which would generate more taxes which is a benefit for the city.
