Is it true that Trump offered to pay the old lady who refuse to leave at a much higher price for the property she own, but when Trump lost the law suit, the old lady left anyway and sold her property at a much lower price
Yes she was offered millions, wanted more, and the house eventually sold for 530k at auction.
I think it was quite a few years later she sold out, but yes that’s it.
I think it’ fair to ask those making an issue of it if they support the Keystone Pipeline, which would use eminent domain to take land from owners and give it to a private company. How is that different than Kelo?
That’s disingenuous. It’s not the whole story on that lady.
She was coaxed by her family to hold out for more after Trump was willing to pay her many times than it was worth and even offered her free housing for life.
This is peanuts compared to what the Bush dynasty did to many hundreds of folks.
No. He offered her up to 4 times the market value. Her son told her to refuse because he thought he could scam more money out of Trump for his mom's house.
Trump decided to turn it over to his lawyers. They tried to use eminent domain and the court order was denied because they didn't specify exactly what the land use would be for.
So, no deal.
Later the old lady died, the son inherited the house, and he eventually sold it on the market for about 1/4 of what it was worth.
You were pretty close, but I thought you might want to know the correct details.
