Kelo, one of the last holdouts, earlier this year accepted a $442,155 settlement, more than $300,000 above the appraised value of her home in 2000. Her pink cottage will be moved elsewhere in the city.

so she's making an obnoxious amount of profit to move her house, and she's still whining about the whole thing?

"Appraised value" doesn't mean it can be replaced for that amount. Criticize her for making an "obnoxious amount of profit" when the government forcibly takes your property -- not for public use as Constitutionally allowed, but to give to another private party for that private party to use to generate profits -- and offers you an amount that is completely unacceptable to you but considered an "obnoxious amount of profit" by others who didn't own the property in the first place.

What is the nature of this private party? Is it a corporation?
