Yes!
Land developers are celebrating this week's whack-job eminent domain decision by deciding to build a new hotel... on Justice David H. Souter's home. I can't think of a better way to go.
Personally, I think that municipalities do need more power to enact urban planning initiatives, which includes seizing under-used real estate in prime locations, and not just for things like roads and schools. That being said, I don't think that the court was right in its decision, as this cuts too far into property rights.
Sorry to post an off-topic comment, but I couldn't find an email address anywhere on your blog and I don't think you read my reply. Anyway, yes, I am in the Lancaster area, if you know of any job opportunities there. (I don't think Vector would be a good choice for me, though. I'm not much of a one for sales.)
