EPIC EMINENT DOMAIN BATTLE: Inner-City Kids, Boxing Gym Fight Back

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.

Interesting thought also, I lack the perspective on that particular locale to agree 100%, but it seems to be reasonable to me.

 No, consider for a moment the region, they're merely reflecting on the social idiosyncratic left-bigotry of California towards such institutions.
