Comment Zone: On the Mayor’s Mind
The Empire Zone blog's question, "So now we know what is on the mayor’s mind today. What’s on yours?" garnered the following response from "Joe":
Before people gush about Mayor Mike’s “creativity,” let’s not forget that he has shamelessly invoked the now tyrannical use of Eminent Domain to take over land for the Downtown Brooklyn project, and is now threatening Eminent Domain *again* if the people of Willets Point don’t play ball and start packing. This is disgraceful. What exactly is the significance of owning an apartment, house, or land, if the government can simply take it away at a whim? We’re not talking about using the land in an emergency time of war, with foreign troops marching through our land. No, we’re just talking mammoth corporate development here. Seriously, it seems like no government entity gives a damn about anyone who doesn’t contribute 100k or more to their campaign coffers.
