“.... Trump spent 4 years in court attempting to steal the womanâs home, but was unsuccessful.”
You either didn’t read the article, or failed to comprehend, or chose to read into it what you wanted. Note: an individual such as Trump cannot sue under eminent domain. Got it? Trump did not sue the woman, the city did. The suit was brought by the agency overseeing the development of Atlantic City.
You may not have visited ACNJ before gambling was ok’d and the casinos started to be built. It was ramshackle houses, dilapidated buildings and just a wasteland. Much as it is today because gambling never quite cut it in ACNJ. You might call it a $hithole. That is what the government of AC and its agencies were trying to overcome.
But, by all means, let this poor 70 year old lady turn down $1M for her dump of a house. Let ACNJ stay the dump city it is. We can’t have businesses coming along and trying to make them into something desirable, something that employs tens of thousand of people, and brings revenue to the area, making it into an economic powerhouse. Just can’t have that.
Maybe even the hardest heads here can understand it.
