A little context here might be worth considering.

As a disclaimer, I do NOT believe in ED for commercial growth using government ED condemnation.

Vera Coking prevailed more than once in court and her property was NOT taken, even after having been offered seven figures for its purchase.

She wanted more and kept her right to her property and it eventually sold in an auction for something over $500K less the auction 10% commission fee, nowhere the $5M it had been listed for.

So what? Good for her. It’s what Trump will do to get what he wants. That’s the point. Property rights be damned. That’s NOT a conservative principle. Trump is a CINO!

That’s all very well and good but you seem to be missing the point here: the reason she had to go to court in the first place was because Trump was using the CRDA in an attempt to take her property so he could develop it! She wouldn’t have had to go to court if the CRDA didn’t try to take her property.

I’ll ask you the same question I asked another poster: what do you think of Trump’s opinion of Kelo, quoted in the article but also posted in post #18? Do you think it’s compatible with true constitutionally conservative values?
