ktsnake, that is what is so interesting.
The Federal Govt. Will not usurp Local Laws. But, it seems to be happening more and more.
States rights are becoming about as ridiged as Individual rights.
Right!
KC Metro area is doing a lot of this and hopefully for the Total Betterment.
Now, I agree with Ememinet Domaine, "If and Only If" it is done for a Total betterment such as was done in KC Ks.
The People were offered 125 % of appraised cost. If did not agree, they could get a appraisal and then went from there. They also had the right to move their Homes or take anything that they wanted. They also had help if wanted to move houses.
It has turned the Area totally around and is benefiting the County and City. Oh for some that dont know, We had Unification of both sevearal years back.
KC Metro also has a Big Problem about moving a person out for a Shopping center and is not on their land! They just want it!
Wal_Fart, Hell, they want what they want, but is becoming harder for them to be so strong.
Metro Area had killings and shabby Housing and sleeze Bars, not is a Finally working shopping center of Mid Town.
If, and I emphasize If, it is used right, it can be for a larger Bettement.
There will always be some unhappy people. It has to be used with some restraint. But, once it is a Law Now, I am sure it will be abused!
