What are we going to do about this? What can we do?

I'll tell you, I'll be first in line for a campaign to get a Constitutional amendment reversing this absolute garbage. I hope this turns into a full-fledged movement. We need web sites, email petitions to senators and congressmen, everything. This issue affects everybody. Not just homeowners, but those who care about the neighborhoods and cities they live in, and have an interest in individual rights (or the erosion thereof).

I'd like to see those poor homeowners in New London wait until they get paid by the city and then immediately go out and get 100 barrels of toxic waste and dump them all over their properties. And in the meantime, they should all erect HUGE signs on their properties reminding every local resident in New London that the government is stealing their property and YOURS may be next! They should immediately stop paying their property taxes as well, since the property is no longer theirs.

You know, the track record for "redevelopments" in "blighted" areas such as this is not really very good. With any luck, the greedy developers that get these people's properties will lose their shirts.
