:::Public use is pretty clear in my opinion. The public uses a road or railway. It doesn't use the property a mall is built on even if it patronizes the mall. The property is being put to private use, a buisness. Whether or not it benefits the public is irrelevant. That citizen's right to their property overrules the cities desire for an increased income. I support states' rights, but I don't support Kelo, because I also support citizen's rights. If they had taken the same property, with due compensation, to build a road they would've been constitutionally within the rights of a state, but by giving it to buisness they were violating a citizen's constitutional rights.
