TK, Aunty M,

A land grab for the "good of the commons" might traditionally be a liberal tactic, but this is a takings from individuals who probably are from both the liberal and conservative camps, by a city government, which is likely liberal in Conn., for the express benefit of well-heeled developers who invariably are conservative.

So how's this a "liberal" decision by the court? It ain't the homeowners, or even the city, that's gonna' make the money. It's the developer who makes the money. It always is. City governments tend to be stooges who conveniently act on behalf of developers.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
