OT--Homes may be 'taken' for private projects
Homes may be 'taken' for private projects Justices: Local governments can give OK if it's for public good The Associated Press Updated: 12:23 p.m. ET June 23, 2005 WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses - even against their will - for private economic development. It was a decision fraught with huge implications for a country with many areas, particularly the rapidly growing urban and suburban areas, facing countervailing pressures of development and property ownership rights. As a result, cities now have wide power to bulldoze residences for projects such as shopping malls and hotel complexes in order to generate tax revenue. |

I guess there goes Naples Village by the Ritz Carlton. |

I guess there goes Naples Village by the Ritz Carlton. What is Naples Village? An area of older homes adjacent to the Ritz Carlton. The homes immediately adjacent to the Ritz Carlton start at about 5 million. The ones just down the road a half mile from there are part of a community called Beach Walk. Those homes sell for half a million and up. The other two areas around the Ritz are Vanderbilt Beach and Naples Park. Vanderbilt starts at about one and quarter million. Naples Park runs in the high $400's and up. Of course, there are condos that run anywhere from a half millon in Vanderbilt on the bayside, to $15 million for the ones right next to the Ritz. But there's no "Naples Village". |

Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority.

"It Takes a Village" to steal your home. |
