Please, please, let this happen.
Kick 'em out and let him live in the street - I love it.
LOL! Too Funny!
Good luck. The appraised value for tax purposes of the property in question is $100,000. Are you hoping that Souter will read this and laugh so hard he throws an aneurysm or something?
I didn't want to offer a half a mil. He would have taken that. We want him to refuse so we can move to have it condemned.
Well I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on that to happen. There has never been a case in New Hampshire of eminent domain being used to condemn property for private developer.
I just spoke with Logan on the Larry Elder Show. He wants the offer lowered to $1776.
Non-Seq sez: "There has never been a case in New Hampshire of eminent domain being used to condemn property for private developer."
Untrue, bub. NH does have a higher standard than Connecticut, and Justice Kennedy noted in his concurring opinion that he thought that states should seek to reach the NH standard, which he regarded as optimum, but stil private developer eminent domain does happen here. The railroads, for instance, were private corporations that were actually given eminent domain power by the legislature to go and seize land in the rail corridor they were granted by the legislature. That was in the 19th century. Recently the City of Manchester seized a mill property along the Connecticut for development as the current New Hampshire Fishercats stadium, the stadium is owned by the team, not the city.
