Let's remember the *Little Pink House*, Kelo v. City of New London and Suzette Kelo's fight against New London eminent domain and the sad outcome of a whole neighborhood being demolished for the sake of bogus *public purpose.*

Instead of a little tight knit neighborhood, all that remains is New London's own blight [pictured below]...a ugly empty lot. No matter that people were uprooted, and property tax revenue from the razed homes was flushed; or that Pfizer never built on the stolen land.

>>Carlos Carrion of 16 Borodell Place entered a not guilty plea last week in New London Superior Court to the city’s first blight-related criminal infraction under a newly revised blight ordinance.

No grandfather clause or agricultural exemption?
He needs to find out which politicians to bribe/contribute to next time.

Carrion is trying to fight New London’s City Hall? He’s dead meat.

It’s insidious. It spreads like wildfire and moves across property lines underground. Thankfully none of my immediate neighbors has this stuff. When I see large groves of this tall grass, I want to go out and buy a large stuffed panda bear and place it strategically in the middle.

It is not indigenous to this continent and needs a certain amount of control. Keep it in your own yard. If it spreads to your neighbor you should bear responsibility to remove and repair your neighbors property.

I’m not sure what makes that more of a blight than the rest of New London (except for the Conn College / Coast Guard Academy area.)
