LOL. And let me see, 137 out of a thousand don’t want to cut their property in half.
Kindly explain how they block it.
May answer is they don’t sell and the courts should stand up for their right not to. And the pipeline people find a new route with people willing to cooperate. Kelo causes a problem there though... There may be state law that doesn’t allow the business to force a sale protecting the owner.
The pipelines I’m familiar with don’t cut the property into pieces or cause much of an issue. They are underground. There’s simply an easement allowing access to the pipeline to maintain it. The pipeline owner pays for that easement and is usually cheaper than buying the land. Once the pipeline is complete you don’t know its their short of warning markers periodically. The property owner can farm over it etc. Being an easement the property owner still owns the property but is limited on what he/she can do with it. For example they can’t build things on it.
On another subject. You told me and others Cruz worked with Bush 41 to block prop 187. Prop 187 was permanently blocked before Bush took office or even ran. Something doesn’t make sense.
Rereading what I posed my spelling/grammar had a melt down. Sorry about that.
