In my entire life, I have never ONCE seen this sequence of events.

I have seen Eminent Domain condemnations for roadways and widenings thereof, and for public parks. That is it.

I'd add schools to your list.

However, local government are increasingly using using eminent domain to assemble large parcels for sale to prive interests in the name of economic development. This is an abuse of the process.

Reason magazine has done a number of stories (example) and the Institute for Justice has helped the small owners in some of these cases.

And quit it with that "et cetera" and "ad hominem" and "ergo" crap. Speekie zee English? This ain't Latin America, ya know! ;-)

Absolutely! This is nothing more than the Stalinesque-style destruction of the Kulak back in the 1930's!!! I would absolutely, heatedly fight such a step towards pure Marxism.

Give the link and QUOTE, where I said that I had equal rights to your property. In those EXACT words.

Can't do it because I NEVER said that.

I never claimed to have any rights to your rat infested property.

Are you Jack Thompson, esq., of Florida?

[A CA Guy]

People liked getting the view for free when they bought the property. No way they didn't know it wasn't part of their property.

Now if they want what they had for free it will cost them.

That is the tough part, being charged for what was free before.

A lesson in life that nothing is free anymore.

[Poohbah]

The $30k did not mean they owned the lake. It meant the fence came down.

Wrong. He explicitly offered to sell the lake to the homeowners for $30K apiece.

If you are a burden and a net negative to this forum, I will certainly be pointing it out to the Powers That Be.

I love this place, and I will not permit idiocy, threats of litigation, threats of real-world intervention, etc., to destroy it.

max, quit hogging the popcorn....

BTW, I notice that you repeatedly ignore refutations to your claims, merrily skipping to the next point like a nervous, gambling Chihuahua on methamphetamines.
