Does that mean that turning the airport into condos and apartments
wouldn't bring MORE money into the city coffers? Perhaps not. But that
same argument can be used on every piece of municipal land, including
parks, parking garages, and 4-lane roads. EVERYTHING would bring in more
tax revenue if the Sears Tower were built on top of it.

Careful.

The Kelo decision has opened the way to do just that, for your *private*
property. It will be only a matter of time before lobbyists will convince
someone that it should be extended to *public* property as well.


And your previous post:

.... The best thing that could POSSIBLY happen to my business would be
for the airport to be bulldozed, and that land developed into homes and
businesses. I would probably see an immediate 300% to 400% increase in
business, and the value of the hotel would absolutely skyrocket.

And we would get out of the business as fast as possible,....


.... amazed me.

I am pleased that you recognize that in some cases, unfettered "free
enterprise" may actually be detrimental to one's quality of life!!! You are
going to be accused of starting to sound like one of those damn-socialist
Canadians! ;-)

Hope your Holiday celebrations went safely and well.
