City uses eminent domain to punish man

[KBCraig]

As reported on TheAgitator.com:

Man fights city hall eminent domain plan to seize private marina homes and hand them over to wealthy developers. Man actually wins. City fights back with ridiculous attempt to evict man, including claim that his dachshund is a "menace" to the community. Man fights back, actually wins again. City goes after man a third time, with new law that would require expensive renovation of his houseboat. City learns its lesson. This time, they get the feds to take the man's home away before he has the chance to fight back.

What scumbags!

This has been going on forever in Florida though,
in the old days when the developers could not get some
old cranky cracker to sell, he would mysteriously wind up dead.
