A San Diego-area boxing gym that serves at-risk kids is showing what it takes to fight for what is right and to win. The Community Youth Athletic Center (CYAC) has had to endure a series of low blows by National City's local government in a case that time and again demonstrated how difficult it is for California property owners to defend themselves against tax-hungry governments and land-hungry developers bent on eminent domain for private gain.

  • The Kelo vs. New London decision by the Supreme Court was a national disgrace: eminent domain abuse was so self-evident in that case I cannot see how the court could find for the city. I would say that the low lease rate in the New London building was a bit of just desserts, except that the bureacrats who stole those people's homes won't suffer, the citizens will.

  • You fight the fight. You are doing a great thing for these kids.
