ok you're right, my bad. lets keep that status quo and just take poor folks inner city land and blow it up for redevelopment. as usual slashdot posts are one sided, this article fails to mention that this particular fight has been going on for years and the ONLY reason it has lasted this long is the deep pockects of these particular home owners.
"Generally, property is taken only in the context of an overall economic development project that will provide significant benefits to a neighborhood. This usually involves public hearings or some other type of public process. In addition, the Constitution's Just Compensation requirement ensures that cities treat property owners fairly, as do state and federal laws that govern the use and limits of eminent domain. And the media demands that we be accountable."
CT does not currently have a law that restricts this taking.
ok then bitch and moan about redevelopment projects all over the nation. screw it lets just sprawl out even more and continue to consume new land day after day after day. look at what has happened in baltimore, nyc, dc, miami just about every major city in america, ghetto downtowns condemed that force out minorities to build luxury condos. now 20 or so wealthy white conneticut/my shit dont stink/ people get millions for their homes and you rush to their sides because the city government wants to pave way for revenue generating uses to help pay for affordable housing for the city's working class. has anyone been to New London? it is just about the most snotty area in the world. nobody cares about minorities unless they are mowing the lawns and trimming the hedges.
i dont see anyone crying because the barrio that was once south beach is what it is today.
except in this case the poor saps had million dollar homes that had refused for years to redevelop their properties. this has been allowed for blighted areas for years, so now it is happening to people that are "rich". i say its about time. the new uses will improve tax revenue for the city greatly which is good for everyone. if these homes were ghetto/minority then nobody would have brought suit and the land would have been razed years ago for redevlopment.
actually it is entirely possible to have floor plans in your gis. you can also have people, planes, cars, trees, bushes, even temporal aspects such as motion in your gis projects. a gis is simply a model of the world. depending on time, user ability and software/hardware determines the level of detail the gis has.
