Does that mean that my county may seize my proerty if they want to erect a hotel in place of my house?
I tell you, if nothing will drive house prices down, then this law will.

Devastating. Demoralizing. Despicable. Un-American. I am beside myself.
Revolution, anyone?

Unbelievable. I generally don't like to resort to name-calling, but what a bunch of liberal scumbags that voted for this.

It's funny how cities need land on lakes and other naturally beautiful spots. It would be called theft if our society was more honest...

I think it's starting to become less awkward. Soon, maybe soon.

Homeowners, arm yourselves. You're just one developer's idea away from losing your greatest investment now. And a simple bribe to a corrupt judge will put most of those nails in your coffin.

Does that mean that my county may seize my property if they want to erect a hotel in place of my house? Yes, and if you live on a beautiful piece of property that would cost the city too much to buy, they just steal it from you. It's time for conservative judges.

I'm willing to join you.
I see Kennedy is taking legal advice from overseas again, this time from Zimbabwe and Mugabe.

The thing that adds insult to injury is the fact that the main reason cities are seeking to bulldoze residential property is the fact that a lot of unused industrial property is too risky to develop due to potential CERCLA liability.

Holy Cow....
In CA, they are stealing property to give it to Environmental Groups.
This is absurd!

That's exactly what Janice Rogers Brown just called it in a recent dissenting opinion and that is precisely the reason the socialist democrats didn't want her near an appeals court.

WOW! I wonder if this means my city can now bulldoze "little Mexico" to put in pig farm? This would greatly increase the tax value of the land, and greatly reduce police, fire, and social services costs.
