...The City of Long Beach is advertising for planning consultants to carry out their plans. Will they be hired if there is some danger that the consultant will say "We have studied the situation carefully and we belive the city should not impose zoning restrictions on property owners and their uses of the land. Nor do we believe that eminent domain is justified." Would such a consultant be considered or hired? The planning consultants are accomplices before the fact to legalized theft. They represent in Hannah Arendt's words "the banality of evil." So too do the officials who hire them.

Will the eminent domain abuse horror show come to a neighborhood near you? Where do the presidential candidates stand on eminent domain abuse?

This sounds like a job for a Super Community Organizer with no middle name.
