As word of this ruling trickles down into the deepest fiber of the American culture - there can be no doubt it will cause major unrest.

Think about the literally millions of homeowners throughout America who will now fall prey to greed.

All a city has to do is ANNEX A DESIRED PROPERTY INTO THE CITY LIMITS to confiscate it.

It is happening in FL.

In a municipality homestead is capped at 1/2 acre.

OUTSIDE a municipality homestead is 120 acres.

If you get annexed you have a grandfather clause protection but the NEW owners get dropped to the 1/2 acre.

This is particularly crucial as homestead property tax increases are capped to prevent taking by confiscatory taxation on the individual owner. So now instead of forcing gentrification by taxation, they can force taking by simply taking.
