#1 Right on .com

This issue makes my blood boil. E.D. should be the last resort executed on absentee land lords or against known crack houses *NOT* for Grandma's old 2 bedroom house in a blue-collar neighborhood. I seem to remember a revolution was fought over similar circumstances. It is a land grab of the worst kind. I don't know how these justices/politicians et al that back this legislation look themselves in the mirror at night. Personally, I would defend my home w/shotgun in hand.

#2 The important thing is not publicity, but strategy. They care little if you make the papers, but they really do care if you make them *have* to start signing papers to protect themselves.

So what they should do is buy a small parcel of land, then take advantage of whatever absence of zoning laws to move in a whole bunch of people in high-density just long enough to vote in the next council elections. Then, unless you get agreement from every councillor, you target just those that oppose you in the next election with a large enough block to most likely defeat them.

Make it clear to the rest of the town that you will leave *them* alone, and will pick up and leave just as soon as Suter is punished, even returning his land to the city once his house is demolished.

#6 My mom was becoming a LLL moonbat of sorts, so after the eminent domain decision came down from SCOTUS, I sent her the decision and majority and minority opinions from the court reporter. I told her that is why we need to replace those so-called "liberal" justices on the bench with ones that read the Constitution. She now understands that anyone, herself included, can be affected the same way. This decision makes nobody safe.

#7 They may not get his house, but I'm sure they have his attention.

#8 E.D. should NEVER be used to benefit a private organization. We use it only for public improvements (streets, fire/police/libraries) and ONLY as a last resort. I'd consider an ED condemnation a failure of negotiations and probably a failure on my part as Project Manager, if the other party was willing at all....
