I agree and I strongly believe this is NOT the right way to do things. The City Council members who voted for land condemnation should remember which country they live in. If we can’t respect property rights in the U.S.A., then what the Hell is happening to us? Is this the right way to create public-private relationships?

BTW, I like your work, Magnus. Very nice images!!!

Again we see the strong arm of government stealing from legitimate property owners to achieve its own agenda.

I’m deeply disappointed in the City Council for going this route.
