OK.... Thanks for filling me in on this! Very much appreciated!
Perhaps a nice place for a shooting range and a Boy Scout camp.
Last I heard, it was looking more like a publicity stunt, because the guy has never contacted the town council with the proper forms or whatever.
Now you're talking. Even build a lodge and some cabins. Dig a "swimmin' hole." Would be perfect!
I like the idea. And "Compliments of Freerepublic.com " would be at the bottom. LOL
I love it too!
It is somewhat an extension of the spirit of the Boston Tea Party wouldn't you say?
I would NEVER subordinate a 1st. position without additional consideration(s).
Nice touch Doug. As one broker to another that is a nice little twist. Should get the city fathers salivating.
Count me in. We could time-share it. I would love to visit the Northeast shore for a week each year!
That is why you negotiate it in the original deal and why I wrote it that way. If you come back later, you probably cannot get someone to go along with it later without some big carrot. You also negotiate substitution of collateral and discount for early payoff in the original deal.
You also have to send offers to buy to at least two of Souter's neighbors, or you won't be able to move into phase 2 of your evil plan. That's what Kelo demands, and that's what they'll get.
My mistake, I should have read the thread first, I thought you were setting up the Zig for the E.D. Zag later.
Perhaps. Depends on how many shares you're selling and at what price.
Yes. Absolutely it has got to be for the "public purpose".
I don't understand what mistake you thought you made.
I like condemnation through Eminent Domain better.
He will not accept this offer. It will have to be condemned.
I am certain you are correct @ # 77:
"He will not accept this offer. It will have to be condemned."
You'd think that Justice Souter would make enough money to do some upkeep to that dump.
