Unbelievable! We really are losing our rights at an exponential speed. I couldn't believe the decision on Campaign Finance Reform and now this has happened. It is chilling. However I fear most people will never hear nor care until it is their home that is endangered. Sad day for the USA.

I'm kind of vulnerable where I am; there's been a lot of infilling in my area, and I bet a lot of developers would like to grab my neighborhood and divvy up the lots to build townhouses and such. Before this ruling, they would have to buy out each owner individually. Now, they can go to the city and propose some scheme that has an ostensible "public purpose" and force us all out of our homes.
