In Kelo v. City of New London, (545 U.S. 1158 (2005)) the United States Supreme Court created an uprising of sorts among legislatures and the public by articulating what has been the law of eminent domain in the United States for about 100 years.
'Atlantic Yards' Condemnation Upheld
The so-called 'Atlantic Yards' project in Brooklyn is a typical case of public/private partnership to develop an area that has long been the location of urban blight. The issue, from the standpoint of those who challenged the condemnation of their property for that project is that the property, which is the subject of the recent Second Circuit decision in Goldstein v. Pataki, for the most part is not considered blighted but is close or adjacent to blighted areas.
