Did You Ever Wonder Why Bermuda is so nice?

The Govt of Bermuda has an established property maintenance code and an abandoned building ordinance. Bermudas property maintenance code requires that the exterior of all real property be painted as required to their standards and time frame (they also tell you what color you will paint your property). Under their abandoned building ordinance they (the Govt) can do all necessary repairs and maintenance or knock it down at the owners expense. You are not allowed to use your property for outside storage and your landscape must be maintained. Each Household is allowed one car, they will ticket and fine you for a dirty hub cap. When it is time to get a new car you must have proof that you removed the car from the island or sold it to someone via a new car registration. You can't drive an island beater. You are required to not only to keep your property clean you must maintain the street in front and or back of you property. Their immigration policy is tough. *-)

Edward,
The USVI does not exercise Eminent Domain However they ( the Govt) has the option. The USVI can also exercise property confiscation thru their "Police Powers" but never have. As stated earlier the Laws are there, just never enforced.

Though it COULD,for non-borne here VI citizens if the last VI constitution were to pass...

Didn't the proposed constitution die on the Governor's desk?

Courts moved it on. I think it is now dying on the Presidents desk.
