Yes, and it gets worse every day.

Just hope your city doesn't want to take your house for the newest
Walgreen's.

That is one of the things I was reffering too, but didn't want to
specifically mention in this boating NG.

I think it very appropriate for r.b.c. because when they start confiscating
the houses, we'll ALL be living on boats like the rest of the
refugees...(c;

You know you've had a rough night when you wake up and you're outlined in
chalk.

Well, they can have my house, but they had better keep their bloody hands
off my boat!

Could someone please explain to me "how the government can take your house
for a private development?" I do know that expropriation can take place
for the good of the city for roads and things like that but for private
development is beyond my comprehension.
Thanks.......

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that to create jobs or a higher
tax base falls under "public use" or "public good" or whatever term was
needed, and now allows governments to expropriate private citizens
property and resell it to developers. Sam

I couple days ago the US Supreme Court ruled that a local jurisdiction could
employe emminent domain to sieze private property for private use if its
part of a development plan for an area.

i.e. A city really wants developer to build a high ticket (revenue
generating) shopping mall, and a few hold out home owners won't sell. The
city can sieze the land and turn around and sell it to the developer. That
is pretty bad, but its worse. Many cities have an independent developement
corporation that is an independent corporation that doesn't answer to the
voters. They can use that to do things that would not be legal for the city
to do like sell property below market value without voter approval or public
bid.

Got a prime piece of river front with a view. You can pretty much count on
losing it if somebdy want to build a hotel there now.

In the town of New London, the infrastructure was decaying badly
in this old working class town. Then the navy handed back some real
estate, and an industrial outfit decided to build a research park
style development. The town commissioned a careful plan to
rejuvenate the town, as a worthy public purpose. The Supreme Court
held that this purpose was worthy of applying eminent domain - in the
face of a few property holders, on 1/10 acre plots who had a
sentimental attachment to them - having lived there like their
parents, even grand-parents had, and despite strong financial
incentives to sell.

The Supreme Court also held that this decision was open to misuse
by public authorities, and their manipulation by wealthy developers
They knew this - and warned that each case must be examined on its
merits. In this case, the benefit to the many outweighed the
great discomfort to the few, and their real property rights, they
held.

So that how the government can take your house - the same way
it could before - for a public purpose of sufficient merit.

Glad they weren't endorsing the take-over of my place, all the same.

And don't forget, they have to *pay* for the property, usually more than
it's worth.

Some of you should try living in some other countries so you can learn
how good the one you're in is.
