My parents almost lost our family home several years ago in California. They wanted to build a new freeway extension and off ramp. There were many meetings and even more lawyers involved. My Mom and Dads home was appraised at $350,000. The company that was building the freeway offered them half that and expected my parents to just roll over. Fortunately they construction company lost and the freeway was voted to another location (across the road) without any homes that would need to be leveled. I think this decision is bulls**t. Most of the malls and the crap thats built in small or large towns don't last long. We are becoming less and less safe on our own turf, even if we own it.

We are becoming less and less safe on our own turf, even if we own it.

We don't own turf anymore. We just rent it and pay taxes on it, but when push comes to shove, the big fat hog momma guv'ment owns all the turf. That's what this ruling is all about - being allowed to live where the local elites say you can live.
