Landowners must yield to ballpark - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper:
"[DC] City officials said they expect to file court documents to take over at least some of the 21-acre site in the coming weeks and have $97 million set aside to buy the properties and help landowners relocate.
The city made offers to all 23 landowners on the site last month but received no response from 10.
'We think there are some that we'll have good-faith negotiations with,' said Steve Green, director of development in the office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development. 'There are some we haven't heard from at all.'
Many property owners on the site said the city's offers are inadequate. Others are suing the city on the grounds that it has no right to use eminent domain to acquire land at the site, despite a Supreme Court ruling affirming the right of municipal governments to take private property for the purpose of economic development.
In April, the city notified property owners on the site that they would be required to move out by Dec. 31."
The Kelo v. New London case is going down as the absolute worst Supream Court Descion in history, arguably worse then Roe v. Wade.
Without the rights to own anything, whats the difference between us and the commies???
