So, what Laws did the Trump Corporation break again?
Weren’t there previous Threads regarding this a few weeks ago? It’s like Deja Vu all over again.
Don’t like the Law, Elect Politicians that will change it.
How many times is this ancient line of BS going to be posted?
The owner of the boarding house demanded "$4 million clear!" (iow, after taxes; like me, you probably remember the story decades ago on 60 minutes or 20/20 or whatever) for the property, and whomever was building the hotel on the adjacent land said (quite rightly) "that's ridiculous" -- so they built around it, which made her property worth a great deal less, effectively worthless. Her asking price went on a long, slow, downward spiral as she tried to keep operating a boarding house in deep shade. Getting offered $100s of $1000s of dollars for a small parcel to be turned into parking would sound pretty good at some point, but apparently not to her.
I’ll bet he was in a schoolyard fight once and got detention.
I respect Cato, but in this case:
Cato = water carriers for the plantation owners
Your right, if someone offered me a million. I would say “Take it, I’ll even add the furniture?” LOL
Irelevent!
Like you have made yourself!
Trump offered her far more than it was worth and far more than eminent domain eventually paid. I’ve seen the property.

CALLER: Of Republican candidates saying we’re going to build a wall. We can sit there and listen to a three-second sound bite. And then they have to go the moderate route and they never mention it again. Donald Trump gets stuff done.
PAT: What stuff does he get done?
STU: Bankrupting casinos? What does he get done?
PAT: He built a few buildings.
STU: You know how he gets it done? Eminent domain. He steals people’s properties, their private property, and gets giant casinos built. Congratulations for using the government that way.
CALLER: Okay. No one is going to like 100 percent of what —
PAT: I don’t like 1 percent of what he does!

Sure, I agree with the property owners in these cases, not Trump.
However, these are warts I'm willing to ignore.
Jeb has far worse ones, as do Rubio and Kasich, and Christie is one big wart.
Soooo.... TRUMP + CRUZ!
>>NO ONE seems to mind the use of Imminent Domain when they drive down the Interstate.
There a different types of Eminent Domain.
Using eminent domain for a purely public use, such as building a highway, is not controversial.
At issue is the use of eminent domain to transfer property from one citizen to another, under the rubric of “redevelopment”. Although the SCOTUS upheld this in Kelo v. New London, I believe it is a tyrannical power that should be ended, by constitutional amendment if necessary.
I do not think less of Trump for attempting to use it. The problem is that the government has been ceded this power to begin with.
This is a non-story.
What? He almost paid her double what her proprty was worth!
Thank goodness he didn’t succeed. After all why should a major city be able to rezone a run down shack to commercial in order to build a giant business which employs thousands of minorities and young people? No by all means some dog in the manger should be able to hold onto her run down shack and stop development. After all, that is what America wants! An outhouse on every block!
Lol. That Trump is really horrible! He came so close to buying her out... Oh now the property has been sold anyway?... Nevermind
Keep it coming Libtards. Games already over though.
Fear and desperation.
It’s a waste of JimRob’s electrons to even post this.
RE: What? He almost paid her double what her proprty was worth!
He actually offered 1/4 of what she was offered before according to the article.
What an idiot woman.
She could have sold it for $1M in 1980 or so after having been bought in 1961 for $20K.
Even this Trump eminent domain deal was to have given her $250K in 1993.
She recently sold it for $500K
Good point. I think if America will vote an accused rapist into office Twice (Clinton of course), they’ll let Trump have a pass on this.
