Kelo v. New London Update
The Star-Telegram notes that the SCOTUS may be leaning toward the city:
The justices — two were absent — seemed reluctant to stop local governments from taking private property and then turning it over to other private property owners for development. Because the new development will pay more taxes and perhaps create jobs, the reasoning goes, it’s an appropriate public use.
If it’s public use, why is it going to private developers? Do we all get free condos?
