U.S. House puts kibosh on eminent domain

[viscousmemories]

Besides, some of the cases are still pending.

From the article:

The owners of two dozen tracts agreed to sell to the city only after their land was condemned. That's a little less than half of the 55 properties the city has bought in the past several months.

Even after condemnation proceedings were dropped against those 24 properties, the city still has eminent domain cases pending against 88 other properties it needs to buy.
