I saw this on the news yesterday and it just shocked me. This will have big ramifications in future cases.
I agree that private development can be good for a community, but I do not think that it falls in the category of for "public good" or "public use", its a private entity. Some states already have it defined where they can aquire land for the elimination of blight through redevlopment. I think this can be viewed in many ways though. If its not making as much money for the government as they would like, is that considered blight?
I feel like this is just "expanding gentrification". Displacing residents of less ideal areas by siezing their homes for what is deemed better use by the government is just sad.
