Eminent Domain
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. — When Mayor Michael Brown envisions the future of this struggling city, he sees no poverty, no drug dealing, no prostitution and none of the 1,700 buildings where many of his poorest constituents live and work.
Up to 6,000 of Riviera Beach's 31,000 residents would be sent packing in the city's effort to revamp its marina district with condominiums, houses, shops, offices and yacht slips. To enraged owners of property slated for condemnation, Brown says the sacrifice is necessary for progress.
"(Italian philosopher Niccolo) Machiavelli said it best, the hardest thing to do is to sustain and change the order of things," Brown says. "I will use every ounce of energy I have to fight to make a better life for these people. There will be no more lower class. "For all those who don't like it, tough."
I really hope that somebody stops this piece of shit. Soon.
