New Jersey's CRDA is trying to use eminent domain to seize Charlie Birnbaum's property as part of a "mixed-use development" project. The trouble is that CRDA has no concrete plans to do anything in particular with it. ij.org/images/atlantic-city-em...

April 29, 2019: "CRDA’s 30-day deadline to appeal its loss before the New Jersey Appellate Division expired in March, thus ending Birnbaum’s five-year-long legal battle with a victory for homeowner David against the government Goliath." It's a disgrace that it took five years for them to give up...

Press Release | August 5, 2016 J. Justin Wilson Senior Director of Communications Arlington, Va.- In a ruling that may bring an end to the years-long battle to save Charlie Birnbaum’s longtime family home from condemnation, Judge Julio Mendez today ruled that the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority’s attempt to take Birnbaum’s property was “a manifest abuse of the eminent domain power” and dismissed the state’s condemnation action once and for all. “This is a victory for property rights, common sense, and the people of New Jersey,” said Institute for Justice (IJ) Senior Attorney Robert McNamara. “The CRDA’s position was that they could take Charlie’s property for any reason or for no reason, just because they wanted it. Today’s ruling emphatically says otherwise.”

Eminent domain..... refers to the power of a state or the federal government to take private property for public use while requiring "just" compensation to be given to the original owner.

@jvanstyn 5 лет назад

I think the solution for eminent domain takings is they have to pay the appraised value of the property X 3. With payment of 3 times the value of your property, you can get anything you want to replace your house with extra money for beer to cry in.

@jvanstyn 5 лет назад

@proven patriot I know that one is only given fair market value for one's property under an eminent domain taking. I didn't say compensation was awarded at 3X fair market value . What I was stating is that it should be, in my opinion. As it is, if one doesn't wish to leave one's house with a fair market compensation one doesn't have a choice. The cost of moving and purchasing a new place that is equal in value to what you left is always more expensive than staying put where you are. There is also the fact that you aren't going to get fair market value compensation in the eminent domain taking as well. Many people are stuck with what the government offers because the property owner is at a bargaining disadvantage. Under my proposed 3 times the property's value plan, even if you don't get full market value, you will still get substantially more that fair market value and you will be able to better move on with your life and cover moving expenses etc.

@Kevin Cortes: you are comparing two completely different things. When Europeans usurped Native Americans' land, there were no papers of ownership or buildings. They used the lands and lived off the bounty it provided. I am not denying the injustice of what was done to indigenous people, because it was WRONG! This isn't 300 years ago, it is now! This man and his family PAID MONEY for their property, and have a right to expect to get fair value if/when they decide to sell it. Atlantic City wants to expropriate this land (under the guise of Eminent domain), though they have no specific use for it. So, it is purely for speculative purposes! To take someone's property for no good use, or to benefit the community, is reprehensible. A casino does not benefit the community. It benefits the city & the gaming establishment. This isn't the American way! This is the American Way of Greed, and should not be tolerated or accepted by any individual.

It was crazy because the whole neighborhood was contaminated. His property was formerly a galvanizing plant, there was an auto battery plant next to it, and an old abandoned chemical company on the other side, the whole place was old factories built in the 1920's and 30's. And some idiot from the city decided they were going to make it a park for kids to play. When they tore the buildings down there was asbestos, spilled chemicals, lead contamination, and giant (10,000 gallon +) underground storage tanks from like 1930 under the buildings. And the city's plan was for kids to play there. Now the whole place is overgrown vacant lots where people go to illegally dump crap
