Statist Seattle seizes parking lot via eminent domain, to turn it into a parking lot
SEATTLE — The city is forcing a 103-year-old Spokane woman to sell her parking lot in Seattle to make way for, well, a parking lot.
The Seattle City Council voted Monday to take the lot near the waterfront by eminent domain, using a portion of the $30 million provided by the state to take care of parking issues around the waterfront. Hundreds of public parking spaces will be lost when the state begins dismantling the Alaskan Way Viaduct for the digging of the tunnel. The construction will last until 2020.
The lot is owned by Spokane resident Myrtle Woldson. She doesn’t want to sell, so the City Council [said fuck you we'll take it anyway and . .]* voted unanimously to use it’s power of eminent domain to take it after paying Woldson “fair market value.”

None of the City Council members would speak about their vote, but property rights advocates call it ridiculous.
”In this case, the city of Seattle is using eminent domain to seize a parking lot, so they can use it as a parking lot,” said Glen Morgan of the Freedom Foundation, which is an Olympia-based, conservative, free-market think tank. “There’s no public good in that at all.”

Well, they are going to tear the whole damn thing down and build a (really shitty) tunnel in its place. Not sure what can be done if her lot is standing in the path of the dig...

Remember the shitty Kelo decision? They never even built anything but stole people's property.

Government at all levels has been doing this for decades. They did it in case after case in building the interstate highway system in the 1950s. George W. Bush did it to build the Rangers a baseball stadium in Texas. The Supreme Court already ruled such action is perfectly and completely legal! What are you going to bitch about next fluoride in the water?
In Solidarity with Darla, women and rape victims all over the world I too am changing my signature!
" 'I wonder if you were aware that she was not a virgin? There was this narrative that she was an innocent 13 yo when in actual fact she was anything but...this puts a fresh perspective on events[,]' TOM PRENDERGAST about a 13 yo rape victim. The 'events' being, she was drugged, then raped vaginally, orally and anally by a 43 yo man."
How do you like them apples, tommy?

It's a viaduct, people. There happens to be a ton of parking beneath the structure, but if it's coming down then it's coming down.

shoot every council member dead, then let the new council try another vote.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
