What a mean-spirited perspective - Lighten - Up on VC ! ANY responsible
community would ACTIVELY attempt to prevent installation of a hog lot, and
the process of eminent domain is justified in this case.
VC won't get skewered for using eminent domain to prevent the creation of
a hog lot.
Farmer Palm should receive monetary value equal to the farm's present use, not
some
imagined value of what it might be worth were it a hog lot. Farmer Palm is NOT
acting
good neighbor, with his extortion-like plans, and his claims of being a
victim. Were he
to continue the present use of his farm, VC would probably never have issue
with him.
