Eminent Domain Revisited
Gotham Gazette
by Mark Berkey-Gerard
|
Eminent domain is Gotham Gazatte's issue of the week. The introductory article covers: * pending projects proposing the use of eminent domain (including Atlantic Yards), * origin and theory of eminent domain, * past projects, * condemnations for private projects, * pro and con reaction to the Kelo effect.
Don't miss the three opinion pieces linked from the bottom of The Gazette article:
Eminent Domain Benefits Developers, Not the Public (2005-12-12)
Eminent Domain is a Tool, Not a Conspiracy (2005-12-12)
Eminent Domain: What The Supreme Court Ruling Means To NYC (2005-07-12)
The TimesRatner Report follows up by examining the role of NY State (not NYC) in the Atlantic Yards deal.
