Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.

 

Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.

 

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.

 

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

 

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Caf

This is a good start. Now, how do we find the property owned by the eight other Justices?

I just hope it doesn't work against atv's in the future, there's alot of places where things could be built on top of atv parks because they would benefit the surrounding community, noise wise and financially.

This is one of the most infuriating things that the crooked politians have dreamed up. They can take your home for ANY reason as long as the morons on some board agree that you should lose your home or property.

There was an old guy {80+} that I used to buy hardwood from. He had a family farm that they wanted to re-route the highway thru. They broke his land up into 1acre lots and where ever the proposed road and the setbacks touched ANY PART of a 1 acre square, he was REQUIRED to sell that acre. So even if the roadway touched a 6inch corner of the acre, he lost it. They took almost 20 acres. They offered him "market value" for the "farm" land at $10,000 per acre which is less than 1/3 of what developable lots are going for in the area. So an 80 year old guy who payed taxes his whole life got screwed out of $300,000.00 and his family farm that has been in his family for over 100 years now has a road running thru it and the politians will sell it off to developers for millions.

Already happens. Carlsbad Raceway was demolished recently so a business park could be built.

That probably took a little bit of work before, but now all it takes is one quick vote and it's done.

West Saint Louis County and adjacent Saint Charles County has been growing and they've been doing this a lot. I don't know of anyone who was unhappy with the money they got. There are some very very very wealthy farmers in West Saint Louis! A 100 acre age-old pumpkin farm is for sale right now for about 10 million dollars total. The first 50 acres has already been sold.

 

The big problem for a very few people is - like you said - their attachment to the property. If you can let the property go and take the money it's not a big deal.

well look at this fact...california has 2 reg. stickers for bikes now..one green sticker for older bikes.and a red sticker for newer bikes..here is where we get fucked.we pay the same amount no matter what sticker you get when you register the bike..the green sticker can ride any area open to off highway vehicles at any time through the year..the red sticker bikes are only allowed in some areas at a specified time of year for a specified amount of time..i got a 1986 honda 250r 3 wheeler with a green sticker ans a 2004 banshee with a red sticker..i can ride the 250r any time any place..i take the banshee to the same spot and get a ticket for riding it..one of my old local spots for a quick day ride i can ride the 250r 365 days a year..the banshee i can ride from december 1st to january 1st..so the government is fucking us slow and hard..first they take our spots away for 11 months a year because our bike doesnt meet epa standards..but our old run down smog maching can go any place any time???? next they close the land off to ohv's and build more mini malls to sell more junk no one wants..look at glamis for example..the beauro of land mgmt.. has closed down hundreds of thousands of acres of the dunes because some plant lives there and they think its going to die if we ride near it..the research turned in to prove this wasfound to be insufficiant and in conclusive..there was no proof to prove or dis proove this theory..no results ment the dunes were going to be re opened..right..no. no results turned into giant lawsuits...the commin citizen vs.the blm.these lawsuits have been wasting tax patyer dollars and blocking up the court systom for so long that now to pay for it we have to pay more fees to ride in public deserts..so now we pay $20 to register the bike with dmv. and $25 a weekend to go to the ride spots our registration was suposed to help pay for.

so yes the government is trying to push all of off roaders out and make it harder and harder to enjoy our hobbie..

why not start charging these people who like to mall walk or mountain bike or what ever it is they do for fun? why should offroading be taking the brunt of the land closures and the criticism for the budget short falls and errors of our government....charge the little league and po-p warner teams for messing up the grass at the local park..charge the power walkers for clogging the side walks and the soccer moms with their 15 feet tall suburbans for the enviroment..not the guy who just spent $7,000 on a vehicle to go enjoy our countrys back woods and deserts....ok just had to get that off my chest sorry
