“As of the beginning of 2010, the original Kelo property was a vacant lot, generating no tax revenue for the city.”
I remember being horrified by this decision. The one liberty essential to the American idea is property rights. Prior to America any king could take your property. My understanding of eminent domain was, until this decision, was that if the government needed a harbor or a train station they could take your property and compensate you for the value. But in the 1960’s LBJ’s Great Society seized black owned property (judged to be of little value) all over Tampa and built Soviet style apartment blocks that they rented (and subsidized the rent) to the former owners of that property. Today, if it weren’t for the government ghetto those privately owned homes would be worth a fortune.
