If the city actually rezoned your property from residential to industrial using eminent domain that would be considered an "up zoning" not a down zoning and they wouldn't owe you anything. > P.I.M.P.

The council can not suspend the agenda to have a public hearing without notice. Most discussions of the council are not public hearings, and just because the council choses to hear from some people does not make it a public hearing. > P.I.M.P.

Had the City rezoned your property (up graded it to industrial) you would have seen the increase in your tax statement. I am is happy as anyone to see GSE close and I hope that we will see a residential reuse of the property, but hostile attacks on elected officials who have generally been supportive of our plight and whose assistance we are going to need to gain control of the site isn't going to help much. You know I really enjoy this list and like to see elected officials weigh in on this kind of debate but we are not going to see them on the list when the response to their commenting here are ignorant, hostile attacks.
