NYT Forum Debates Eminent Domain
November 16, 2009, 8:34amQuiet Victories on the Regulatory Takings Front
October 13, 2009, 9:10pmTwo interesting news articles on the regulatory takings front.
Private Developers Have No Right to My Home
It's time for New York's high court to protect homeowners.
October 13, 2009New York's Constitution says that property can be taken for a "public use." Not a "public benefit" or "public purpose." No New York State Constitutional Convention or legislature has ever seen fit to change this language or amend it. "Public use" means "public use." But again and again New York has approved eminent domain condemnation for projects, such as Atlantic Yards, that benefit private entities at the public's expense—so not only are they not for "public use," they are not even for the "public benefit." It's time for this to stop.
Report: Widespread Eminent Domain Abuse in New York State
October 8, 2009, 12:57pmThe Institute for Justice has released a new report detailing eminent domain abuse in New York State, one of the handful of states that failed to see any racheting back of its condemnation laws in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's Kelo vs. City of New London in 2005.
When Public Power Is Used for Private Gain
It's time for New York's highest court to say no to eminent domain abuse
October 8, 2009It's a classic case of eminent domain abuse. Ratner isn't planning to build a bridge or a road or any other legitimate public project that might permit the forceful taking of private property. He wants to build a basketball arena, sell tickets to the games (not to mention sell broadcast rights, advertising space, concessions, and merchandise), and make a big fat profit. That's not public use, it's private gain.
TIF for Tat: The Folly of Tax Increment Financing
September 30, 2009, 3:17pmTax increment financing is a becoming an increasingly common program for financing government programs, but little evidence indicates they contribute to economic growth. The use should be limited to a limited number of projects that have located, tangible, and measurable benefits.
