[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] The issue is that (at least in the instance I linked) the decision only benifits a [b]private[/b] company. It actually closes several private businesses and leaves all those employees without jobs. The new development [i]might[/i] affter more jobs (assuming it's successful at all), but that's nothing to the people with no business or income. Mabye they can be janitors or something in the new condos.... Clarence Thomas' dissent is based on simple logic: The poorest land-owners/tennants live in the most likely areas for the city to size and have over to be "re-developed" by private business. Taking their land and selling it to private developers leaves the former landowners with no where to go- they were [i]already[/i] living in the poorest neighborhood. So, this ruling screws the poorest land-owners and only benifits the most wealthy developers. Also consider that the city/state decides what is adequate conpensation. In the past, if someone wanted to buy your land, you could set whatever price you wanted and if they wanted the land badly enough, they'd pay. Now the developer will just go through the local politicians (thay are, of course not motivated by personal intrests or greed) and your land (possibly in your family for generations) is now a condo for yuppies. Not what the founding fathers had in mind. [/QB][/QUOTE]
