Eminent Front

So the nattering, NIMBY, nitwits from New London have rammed their case against the city all the way to the US Supreme Court. Some background here.

After declining full-market-value offers from the city for their properties, these nerds have decided that the city should not be allowed to have a private developer create jobs and increase future tax revenues.

I hope they are the first street bulldozed when New London is bought by the Mashantuckets for a string of shiny beads at the bankruptcy sale.

Her house really is rather nice. She's done a good job, so in some ways I don't blame her for wanting to hold on. The area is really beautiful and it's too bad that they can't work this out. The city could certainly use the properties they are trying to get to beef up business in the area. But I have a soft spot for the little guys here, even though they could probably make a killing selling! One of the groups that is driving the city crazy is the Italian Club! It has a run down building where they meet at least monthly for fantastic dinners (no women=:( )No matter the outcome, New London has some of the properties and I'm sure they'll do something!
