The City Fathers can choose to do this or not to do this. Emminent Domain isnt a popular choice. In fact, when the racetrack went in up here, most of the residents weren't happy with giving up their homes - same reasons, most were older and had lived there a long time. The City wanted the land so they could sell it to the race track venue. So they went back and negotiated a deal with the homeowners that the homeowners could make work for them and that was that. There's always an option besides eminent domain. If they want to be re-elected, they'll find an option. What a bunch of coots. How would they like it?
