i wonder how some of these political clowns would feel if it was their home that was condemned for the same reason?

..."It's sort of sad she elected to do this," Milne said. "We were trying to do things for the city. It was nothing personal." ...Taking someone's home is "nothing personal"???

What dope would buy a condo in an area built on illegally seized home sites? What happens when the next round of "urban renewal" goes down, brotha?

"I think the poor woman has gone around the bend," he said. "I haven't gotten any mail from her in years. I still feel bad for Susette. The sorry part of this is that the things she's angry about were not done to be mean-spirited toward her personally." Fellow NLDC member George Milne, a former top executive at Pfizer Inc., called the card "immensely childish."
It's not personal - it's just business. Isn't that a cliche from gangster movies, just before someone gets whacked?
How dare she say mean things when all we did id undermine the very basis for rights in this country - property rights?!? She hurt my widdle feewings!
These idiots don't have a freaking clue what they have wrought.

"We were trying to do things for the city. It was nothing personal."Maybe somebody can return the favor to this guy in the future.

Kelo, one of the last holdouts, earlier this year accepted a $442,155 settlement, more than $300,000 above the appraised value of her home in 2000. Her pink cottage will be moved elsewhere in the city.
so she's making an obnoxious amount of profit to move her house, and she's still whining about the whole thing?

She was a lot more civil than I would have been. How much do you want to bet that someone who got one of her cards will get a lawyer and whine about how the card is "intimidating"?

"It's amazing anyone could be so vindictive when they've made so much money," said Gail Schwenker-Mayer, a supporter of the development project who received one of the cards. Gail has obviously never had her property forcibly taken from her, and then to add insult to injury, have someone describe the taking as her having "made so much money".

Let's be clear about this - whatever it is that they are doing, it's not eminent domain. Technically this is just confiscation.

Fellow NLDC member George Milne, a former top executive at Pfizer Inc., called the card "immensely childish."Really? And what do you call the unconstitutional confiscation of a person's home? How 'bout, immensely criminal?

That about sums it up. Taking someone's home is "nothing personal." What a royal ass!

Curses notwithstanding, I have a feeling that the developer had better get some damned good fire insurance.
