[Charlestown, Ind., Mayor Bob Hall announced his plans earlier this year to demolish more than 350 homes in the city’s Pleasant Ridge neighborhood.]

Bet the man is a democrat and will be richer if he steals the homes of these poor people. Wonder how many are democrats and if they voted for the democrat party?

I’m not suggesting anything here but I would find it hard to contain my anger if someone tried to take my home and not offer me enough to buy another - $6,000 - what a pittance. Mayor should be looking for a new residence in Pleasant Ridge cemetery!

I wonder about the ethnicity of folks in this neighborhood. The “Urban Renewal” programs of the last century were designed to destroy working class Catholic neighborhoods.

Seems like Mr Fascist Soros Mayor is trying to make some money of his own and absolutely thinking about the people of his town who live in nice homes that would be built today by Habitat for Humanity for around 75K average. Something is truly amok in Mayberry. this is the link for zillow at the level to see the values. Hit minus to back out and view the town. not much for sale here Mr Fascist Stalin Mayor.

Indiana residents are fighting to save their homes as their local government weighs a sweeping plan to demolish them to make way for new development

A New Development? Shades of Kelso all over again. None of us own our property any more.

It would be too bad if the mayor’s house should catch fire and burn to the ground while the FD was enjoying a neighborhood party in a certain town neighborhood....

It seems we are now a communist nation. It does disappoint me that the pub governors overlook these things and do nothing to stop the evil of the obamanation regime.

Commies come in all shapes and sizes.

Remember the Kelo case, in which city officials used eminent domain to transfer land from private homeowners to a private entity that promised to redevelop the land in a way that would benefit the community economically? This is the property in question today:

Insanity.

Even if eminent domain applies, how can they possibly justify paying $6000 for houses that are being lived in? Doesn’t the law require just recompense?
