[Thinkin' Gal]

"The city has carefully formulated a development plan that it believes will provide appreciable benefits to the community, including, but not limited to, new jobs and increased tax revenue," and just destroyed any pretence that you have any recourse whatsoever if the government or county decides that they want your property for any reason at all.

Excellent post. And so much for the property values of the homes stuck as "neighbors" to the new big box mega store, strip mall, business park, condo development, etc.

1 Timothy 6:10-11 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Which way will the USSC rule on the public display of this witness against them?

We need an amendment to the Constitution that says:

THE GOVERNMENT SHALL NOT COVET THE PEOPLES PROPERTY.™

To the satanic forces everything is a commodity to be bought and sold.

[Lijahsbubbe]

benefits to the community,

Note that the benefits are to the "community", not the individual.
