Although the remark appears as extended hyperbole, the poster is technically correct. Your commment is fascist, meaning dictatorial.

Mr.Cagle will be hard pressed in court to argue that Mrs. Hidge's property is condemned because it impedes commercial development.

Personally I hope he gets his balls handed to him.

Nonsense. How is "eminent domain", if legally applied, considered "fascist"? If her local elected body indeed decided this in accordnace with applicable laws and standards, I don't see how it is unlawful. How do you respond to the millions of residences moved or destroyed for the Federal highway or railroad systems? Was that "fascist" too?

My other remark was strictly a monetary one, in that I would gladly take 200% of my home's worth in a bubble market. With interest rates this cheap she could buy another home at record low rates and buy a 2nd home to rent and provide income...a built-in retirement account.

1. I am not involved in the exchanges between montag813 and Sloth on this particular thread.

2. Mrs. Hidge can do whatever she wants to do with HER property, as far as I'm concerned, and live with her decision.

3. I do not live in Duncanville, Texas, so I really don't know squat about the situation, or who is being honest and who is lying.

4. My initial reaction was to jump to conclusions after reading the article, and blast Mr. Cagle. I should know by now that every dispute has two sides, and it is unwise to choose sides before hearing from both parties.

5. I should also know that many "reporters" have missed their calling, and should be writing strictly fiction since they have a hard time getting their facts straight.
