Well My family is now screwed. Our property is going to be seized by the cityhall next door to us now. Well, that kind of a "taking" would be more legitimate under Emminent Domain as it was formerly understood.
What this new ruling says now, is the city could take your property to build a Dunkin Donuts shop there as a perk for the Police Department. Hell, even worse than that--just for the sales tax revenue.
Maybe there is a silver lining to this cloud: Everyone could appeal their property tax assessments now and claim their property is worthless because the state could take it at any time for any reason. Think that would fly?

No, then they will just feel that they will have to pay you less for it when they take it to turn it into Section 8 housing. Look at the bright side though. I'll bet that you can rent a room back fairly cheap. That is if it isn't too full of illegal immigrants-excuse me "migrants" or if they don't bulldoze it for a conservation easement.
