    Local governments can seize your home at will

    I'm sure most of you know it can be done, but it's real bull shit. Talk about the land of the free... the government is free to do whatever they want.

          That's why we have a 2nd Amendment... to protect the other ones. People need to rise up to defend what is right.

                          haha how do you guys think George W. Bush was able to get a new stadium built for the Texas Rangers?
                          Do a search on that and Arlington, Texas...and I still can't believe so many fellow Texans voted for this dumb ass.

                              "Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random," O'Connor wrote. "The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."

                              That's fucked up.

                                          Good news for Wal-Mart. Now they can tear down all those pesky homes and build a megamart in every town.

                                          Wheeeeeeeeee!
                                          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                              Don't they already have one for the Texas Rangers? I think they're building one for the Dallas Cowboys now.

                                                  Sounds like communism to me, because if it's allowed with land, why not with businesses, resources, patents, copyrights, labor, etc?

                                                      Fair market value. This is happening here too in Dallas for the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys.

                                                          Yep. This is just the beginning.

Sometimes those people hold out for a long time to get more from the developer. Now the developer just has to go crying to the local government and they get their way.

I'd be more than happy to give it to them for the amount they have been taxing me on, I certainly couldn't sell it to an individual for that

                                                                                                                  fair market value might be to the extent of the city calling a realtor and asking for a price comparison for recently sold properties in the area with similar features. the problem is they determine which realtor and often shop around for the lowest possible price. your best interests arent in their mind when they are seizing your property and you will always get screwed in the end. people hear "fair market value" and think "wow, ill get what i'd probably make if i sold my house tommorro using a realtor".

Things have been falling on the conservative side lately, usually by 1 vote. Once Bush can get a SC judge appointee we will all be officially invited to go fuck ourselves...
