I don’t think anyone should be forced to abandon their property. What you neglect to mention is the property owner is usually paid several times the fair market value. It’s not like the property owner gets nothing in return. If someone showed up at my door today and offered 3 times the fair market value of my home, I wouldn’t be able to pack fast enough. On the other hand if my husband or father built this home I would have to think long and hard on what would be best for me. I can certainly see both sides of the issue. I listened to Trump on this subject and he said it is “usually a win win for all involved”.
The mayor of Nashville has torn down many residential homes downtown that were owned/rented to blacks as he and his progressive pals took the prime property for business and gov. buildings. There are now a few million dollar homes where the ghetto used to expand to. The yuppies and others have paid small fortunes for what were 35-50K max rundown homes. The mayor pushed them on us in Hermitage, TN. Liberal love to trash middle-upper middle class areas. However, these wealthy scumbags do not trash their area. Business expansion always creates a few unhappy folks. What was the zoning code there? People bitch even if they knew their home was in an area zoned for some business etc.
