Fair Market Value? What a joke.

Even if one could get fair market value, where does one get the money needed to buy a new property, which in all likelihood will be much more expensive. Where do the lower middle class and working poor go once their "blighted" property has been taken?

[reflecting]

Exactly! This is a ruling against the economically vulnerable in our society. Those who have little influence. When the low rent district is seized for more profitable development where do the low renters go?

The rights of all men, enumerated in the constitution, are for each and every man regardless of economic might. This ruling tramples the property rights of the powerless.

So true. But then there's always "public housing" (Gag!!)
