""I live 20 miles from New London. The Fort Trumbull section of New London is middle class. The homes they are stealing are owned by middle class people. There is no blight in New London, only submarines. The CT Supreme Court and the SCOTUS noted that in their holdings. No blight, just politicians and friends with deep pockets who want the land. The "takings clause" shall henceforth be known as the "want clause" as in if I want your home and I've got deeper pockets and friends on the commission the land is mine for the taking.""
Only 20 miles. I know it would never happen but it would be nice if a very large group of people from their local community would block the attempts of the builder to take the homes. If local community would fight this as a whole they might get it done, but I don't know what the people in that area is like.
There have been gatherings, I suspect we will have more.
