400 jobs for the community? Great! Let's get started. Tear down some of those houses. The owner gets paid a bit, what's the problem?

When the shoe is on the other foot it might not be so easy to talk the talk and walk the walk. And this ruling gives the government the power to buy your shoes right out from under you.

If you try to charge even one penny over fair market value for your home that the business offers to give you for it, the city can turn around, seize your house from you, and in turn sell it to the business cheaper than you can, and return a full profit and then some.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
