New imminent domain/property theft scam in CA legislature !!

[msongs]

In the California legislature, a proposed law now working thru committees will give the government MORE imminent domain power to steal property from california land owners.
SB 521 would define "low density uses" like single family homes as "blight". Then government agencies, operating as a "transit village special district" can condemn small business and homes as blight and give the land on which they are located to private developers.
Local goverments consider property in their area as "dirt", as in all the vacant land (dirt) is gone, so now we have to get more vacant land to develop by turning existing houses and apartments into "dirt" by taking over the properties by eminent domain.
Our speficif interest is in Riverside Ca, home of the University of Ca at Riverside. Local government agencies want to turn a local train right of way into a commuter line and put stations right next to the campus. Sorry to say much of that land is currently single family residences.
The city of Riverside and the university of Ca all claim they will not take anybody's land. what they mean of course is that they will create a "transit District" and that district will then take the land.
Pretty slick way to screw people and deny responsibility eh?
So if you are in California you had better start learning about this new law SB 521, a law that cannot really get off the ground until January 2006, so now is the time to fight it. This law will be used all across the state to take away people's single family homes that cannot yet be considered blight for redevelopment purposes.

The Ca legislature is run by DEMOCRATS so don't think for a millisecond that dems are always our friends.

More information on this will appear soon.
