I nightstick probably wouldn't phase Daryl Hannah. Chances are she took a lot worse from Jackson Browne.

The city will probably take it away from the owner using eminent domain.They already did! Then, when they didn't use it, he sued and made them sell it back to him.

So, the celebs had the opportunity to buy the land. But buying the land wouldn't have brought the media out in droves and they wouldn't have gotten their names in the paper.

The left does not understand the term "Property Rights". The city will probably take it away from the owner using eminent domain. I believe they already did that once and were forced by the courts to return/resell to the owner when they did not use the property for the purpose for which it was originally condemned.
In the mean time squatters began farming the property.

The city will probably take it away from the owner using eminent domain.The city already did. The project they grabbed it for fizzled, so they sold it back to him for more than they paid. He offered to sell it to the "farmers" if they could raise the money. They did not, and he now wants them off. Sounds fair to me.

If Darryl Hannah and those other filthy rich entertainers really wanted to help, why don't they purchase the land?

Like Baez and Glover are 'winners!'
Did you see Hannah in Kill Bill? Pretty? No, harsh would be more like it.

"It's a massive show of force," said environmental activist John Quigley, who was in the walnut tree. Why does this make me giggle?!?!
To: SmithL
Wouldn't "Squatters" be a more accurate term than "urban farmers?"

It sounds like they had raised over $6 million for the property, but the owner was asking 16.

Bet they understand property rights when it comes to their OWN property. They would certainly call the law if they had squatters in their estates.

"About 350 people grow produce and flowers on the 14 acres of privately owned land..."
If requirements of the law are met, it could qualify as a "prescriptive easement."
If the requirements are NOT met, then the property owner can use the police to move people off the land, as in this case.
Apparently these squatters do NOT respect laws.
To: avg_freeper
Why can't these celebrities just invite the trespassers to live on their land and in their mansions?Bingo! I think a bunch of "homeless" people should start digging up her grass and planting rutabagas. She certainly will have no right to have them evicted.

A much easier way to have his property back would have been to go in at night and spray the ground with 1-1-1 tricloralethane. Nothing will grow for about a year.
Cant farm if the plants are dead. Bye Bye squatters.
