No, the government cannot seize private property without providing just compensation under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The common good or public interest alone cannot justify taking someone's home without compensation in most circumstances. However, there are instances where the government can exercise its power of eminent domain and take property for public use, but compensation must still be provided.
