Now before you judge Norwood too much, let me say that I live there and I think they did what was best for the city.

I was going to say something about violating property rights, but obviously if you feel it's for the best, that trumps any petty rights other people may have.

Only by the WCPO can we tell this is east of the Mississippi, and your profile that it's in Ohio. Thanks for the great info.
So you beleive it's OK for a city government to take peoples homes for developement by a private entity?

Cat got your tongue? I would love to see your reasons why businesses can take property at will, with your blessings.

Doesn't matter what you think. What matters is that these peoples private property rights are being infringed.

I think they did what was best for the city. Hitler did what he thought was best for the world. I'll bet Stalin did what he thought was best for Russia, and Fidel thought he did what was best for Cuba..........

If I took all Bill Gates money and gave it to Norwood it would be the best for the city.

Ahhh...Norwood and Cincinnati. Brings back many fond memories of my old home town.
I used to live over in Brentwood. We spent many a beautiful Summer day in Winton Woods up in the Forest Park area. Playing baseball, swimming and washing down the grilled brats with a bottle of Vernor's Ginger Ale. Those were the days.

I have been over in that area and it is not that damn bad compared to other areas of that city. Norwood is still smarting from not being able to name the area after themselves because of nearby Hyde Park.
I am so glad I moved!!

I have friends who live in Norwood. My college roommate was from Norwood. Hope it all works for the best.

I'm afraid that your are on the wrong side with this issue.
Either that or you are on the wrong forum.
Private property rights should top the wants of a corporation running to the city because someone wouldn't sell EVERY time.
If the corporation wants the property let them pay what the property owners wants as a price. If the property owner wants too much, build around them and leave them a right of way that is also the truck route to get to the newly built part.
Running to the city/county/state for eminent domain to get what the corporation wants is wrong!
Eminent domain needs to return to what it was originally meant for.

When new visitors drive into our town, they will see a Wal Mart on the right along with multiple large businesses and large office buildings. To the left, they will see a large working dairy farm of many acres. They are always amazed to see a farm in the midst of commercial property.
This farmer's land is valued in square feet instead of acres, because of the prime location.
He does not want to sell. I would hate to think what the people of this town would do to our city government who tried such a trick to take his land.
