Jennie Granato, a resident and tax-paying citizen of Montgomery County, Ohio, has found herself without a front yard and very little to show for it.
Because the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC), as part of a $5M bike path extension, has begun to seize up private property for their “essential” project, including almost the entirety of Miss Granato’s front lawn.

It’s a 150 year old farm. I wonder what was there first - the home or the road?
Since the road is named after the original farm owner (Austin) I wouldn't be surprised that they were about the same time, but the road was probably a narrow dirt path at the time. A lot of old farmhouses were built close to the road like that to allow maximum plowing area in the back. They can make drives on some weaving country roads a little ... exciting.
Sometimes when the road is even closer the county will buy and tear down the house or relocate the house on a new foundation to make room.
Yes, there is, and you are now on it! Thank you so much for your interest in this topic!
Thanks for the ping!
BUMPING!

This is Agenda 21, Sustainable Communities Initiatives made possibly by HUD grants. YOUR TOWN IS NOT EXEMPT. It is a plan to completely remake government by overriding local control with ‘regional’ boards of unelected urbanists.
It is the soviet system.
Please if you listen to nothing else, hear Andres Duany state that it is fascism but it works (on the blog) and that we are all about the UN’s ‘regions’ now.
Some of us have been warning against this for years. Only now that it is in our backyards, are people waking up.
In NH, Granite State Future (no ‘s’, is the proper name for the program) is no different than Plan Bay Area being fought by Rosa Koire or the Seven50 Plan in Florida.
Find out what plans are going on in your state by looking up your regional planning commissions websites.
But it’s the same everywhere. GSF is the NH program, Ohio has one with a different name, but it’s all the same, coming from the Fed.
Some are helping, a lot.. Many are not as they are likely not yet property owners.
BTW, if you get on the GSF(s) mailing list you’ll see the very same things as what is going on in your town. You’ll get an education.
