I am glad I can inspire you.Originally posted by DinoDoc
The title was a bit trollish but Oerdin inspired me. But the content itself is worthy of comment for being such a jaw droppingly massive abuse of governmental power.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Yeah, but I can't find anything anywhere on the web or in the article to say this guy is a Democrat.

Is that the reason that you seem incapable of doing anything but in this thread?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

As for what this guy actually did, it's hard to tell. $33K is IIRC the average income for Arkansas, so all the displaced residents could move here.
If the mayor is competent and conditions are actually ripe for the area to become a luxury yachting resort or whatever they're intending, then this is a good idea, provided there's other places the residents can move to.
If the project is run by a moron (which is just likely on a hunch of mine) then they'll run it into the ground. Bad idea.meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment

Michael Brown is a rotten Democrat -- it's too bad his party won't/can't shun him from the party.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Are you people seriously telling me that you find it a perfectly acceptable use of governmental power for you to be forced of your land for the benefit of a private developer that thought your land was to good for you and thought it would be too much trouble to deal with you himself?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

I don't agree with this action, because I don't buy the "tax base" arguement with regards to eminent domain. If the developer wants the land, let him buy it from the current owners.
but boo on the troll bait
Its your own fault DD for having a crappy discussion with that title.If you don't like reality, change it! me

In San Diego my favorite coffee shop/Gelato place/hooka lounge was take via imminent domain like this. A well connected lobbiest convinced the city to use eminent domain so his client (another well connected developer) could build a hotel on the property. This was the Republican City Council which approved this.
It doesn't seem like they're going to be doing it again soon though since the owner of the Grand Havana Coffee Shop and Hooka Lounge just won a $7 million verdict against the city for E.D. abuse.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

This is crap. Just like the case here in CT was crap.
I agree with Oerdin, though: the real surprise here is actual content in DD's posts.

Democrats will almost always be the ones throwing people on the street using eminent domain.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Really? I had no idea what 'reverse Robin Hood' meant, I'm glad that the LA Times explainined that difficult concept for me"This is a reverse Robin Hood," said state Rep. Ronald Greenstein, meaning the poor in Riviera Beach would be robbed to benefit the rich.
