Well thunder the case you cite is only one. There is a whole counry
outside of New London. In one Maryland county the county exec. tried to
take a large number of homes and small business in a waterfront area and
give it to private DEVELOPERS for the purpose of RETAIL DEVELOPEMENT.
These were homes and business that people have owned for years. This was
before the Supreme Court decision. The people went nuts and the county
exec. was stopped. The people are now wondering if he will try again.
This is just a way for big time developers to get land a bargin prices and
get in bed with those in office.

Hey, I said the ruling was a travesty. Property rights have been eroding
under eminent domain abuse for years. I don't like it at all, and agree
that it is a slippery slope heading in the direction you suggest. I was
only trying to clarify the New London case.
