OK, LOL, I was trying to get away with abbreviating but you’re not gonna let me are you?! Ha ha. I can understand eminent domain under certain narrow circumstances. However when it’s for the good of entrepreneurs and business men? No they should not be able to take my possessions, my property!! that
“However when it’s for the good of entrepreneurs and business men? No they should not be able to take my possessions, my property!!”
It wasn’t being done for the good of entrepreneurs and business men. It was done by the city for the city of AC.
I don’t know if you’ve been to AC (before and after the casinos), but before it was a slum. Property was worth next to nothing. This house was purchased (before the casinos were built for twenty thousand or so. During the same period houses on the shore, both north and south of AC were selling for 200 to 300 thousand. AC was a slum...
The casinos brought billions of dollars to the city and state and tens of thousands of high paying jobs.
The house in question was an eyesore sitting among billion dollar buildings. The city wanted it gone. Nobody was trying to cheat her... she was offered 50 times what it was worth and that wasn’t enough for her.
