The Ugliness of Privacy Notices
The constitution was made by people trying to escape the hegemony of others with more power and money than themselves. They set up property rights so that people could not be slowly backed into surfdom due to human greed. Property rights of individuals is "COMMUNITY progress" over tyranny. The supreme court ruling opens the door to destroy progress that was made over 200 years ago. The supreme court ruling is regression, NOT progress. End of story.
Thankfully, in my own state of Michigan, our constitution specifically bans what the supreme court just ruled if allowed. And, the supreme court ruling says that State laws still trump their ruling. Other states and city governments would do well to totally ban the practive of allowing state and municipal governments to seize property on behalf of commercial developers.
