I agree. The University of Texas wants to buy out a local hamburger joint I was at last night. The owner doesn't want to sell and is afraid UT will use this ruling to force him out. He has his ownpetition drive going and was on the news last night due to the ruling. UT wants to build a parking garage to accomodate a hotel they want to build across the way.
