Lock Please

Local governments have broad power to take over private property to make way for shopping malls, office parks and sports stadiums, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled.

The court said government agencies can constitutionally take property in the name of economic development -- and even transfer it to another private party -- as long as the landowners receive compensation. The 5-4 ruling today came in a case involving land near a Pfizer Inc. plant in New London, Connecticut.

Where does it end???:thumbsdown::disgust::|

This ruling has not just fvcked up Con. but the whole damn country. Can't you hear all of the city officials and their cronies smacking their lips at all of the land that they are gonna "steal." I can't believe the Supreme Court ruled like this.

Yup. Score another victory for big business.
I saw the neighborhood where Phizer wants to do this in New London, it's a real shame. They won't do this in a place like Greenwich though, where there are multi-million dollar homes right on the water.
