solarbirdRemember Kelo v. City of New London, where the city of New London, Connecticut decided to use eminent domain to take a neighbourhood and give it to a real-estate developer? It went to the Supreme Court in 2005, and the Supreme Court ruled this was just fine. I railed about it.
Anyway, "four years after that decision gave Susette Kelo's land to private developers for a project including a hotel and offices intended to enhance Pfizer Inc.'s nearby corporate facility, the pharmaceutical giant has announced it will close its research and development headquarters in New London, Connecticut." The former neighbourhood is still a bulldozed wreck. Awesome, is it not?
