Happy communities are all alike-- but every community threatened by eminent domain abuse (EDA) is different. Are political corruption and EDA joined at the hip in Jersey? Let's just say public use in Pay-2-Play Land is one mighty strange bird. Part 3 of a 4 part series focusing on eminent domain abuse in different locales .... Locations covered to date: Albany, New York, New London, Connecticut, Hoboken, New Jersey, Next up: the Atlantic Yards Project in Brooklyn, New York. A mammoth land grab launched by developer Forest City Ratner and the Empire State Development Corporation-- one of the most powerful quasi-public agencies in the United States.

Good rundown on recent cases of eminent domain abuse, including Hoboken, New Jersey which is still getting Federal funds for "distressed" cities although it's now a bedroom community for people working on Wall Street.

The guilty members of the Supreme Court who have threatened all our personal property rights.

IMHO, the WORST decision in the past 20 yrs. Hopefully will be overturned soon.
