She may have lost the battle but she won the war. she got top dollar in 06. now the city has nothing
her real victory though are that there the 40 or so states who passed laws preventing this abuse of eminent domain.
AND she shows us what one or a few Americans can do
I couldn’t agree more. Our municipality voted on eminent domain right after this. Tighter restrictions passed at 85+%. We almost lost headquarters of a good business, but as residents we preferred private property rights. Eventually the business was able to get the last piece of land they wanted through private sale and the new buildings are going up. I may be in a tear down community, but that is by lack of interference from city hall.
