The thing is that most people won't care so much. If the city would offer me "fair market value" as determined by my tax assessments (I wouldn't be able to get much more anyway.) without me having to get an agent and fix and clean it and show it on the weekends and all of that garbage -- great! Show me the money!

It's non-residential property that is most affected.

"It's non-residential property that is most affected."

I don't think this limitation was expressed in the opinion.

What if your neighbor wanted to expand his house? Why couldn't he get yours through eminent domain if it could be shown that tax revenues will be higher to the locality.

Then you can just go find an empty parcel of land that strikes your fancy and get it through eminent domain so you can build on it.......it'll bring more tax revenue, so why not?

This has so many unintended consequences it's unreal.

Famous last words. It affects all property.

shhhh

don't bring logic into this subject.

Didnt you know? Every time there is a decision FR likes, they laud it to the ceilings while the DUmmies get bent. Now I would bet the DUmmies are laughing at the FReepers that are saying REVOLUTION and all that other whacko stuff.

This ruling sucks, no doubt about it. But it isn't really going to change much short term. Maybe in the long term but only in certain growth areas.
