Hello im a local realtor and first off im very sorry. We all know value especially commercial in PF is incredibly high and i can imagine anywhere around half a million is very low. Fair market value would imply what it would sell for in today’s market. You should have been compensated with an agreed amount long before eviction and even given time to leave after. Its pretty insane considering you need relocation funds! Keep making noise! They should have settled your debt long before possession
@@tianawinterRelocation865 she would have known how much time she had to vacate but not having any cash in hand is a shameful thing to do when eminent domain is exercised. Shame on the city for screwing the resident. From what I see on prices for comps they probably got screwed. The price they offered would be fine for older residential 2 to 3 bedroom but lowballed if it is really zoned res/business and it's located as close as they say to the strip..
@@rebeccalynn7795 I don’t know how much land and after road how much is left.. but that structure looks older, on a crawl space. Mixed and commercial has potential like anything else but investment into a business takes so much capital and they pay tens of thousands to demolish and haul away, then rebuild. So yes commercial may be more in a thriving market and do you see new commercial businesses going up from scratch? I don’t see that many and it depends on the size of land. If it’s too small for both parking and building you can forget a high price or even a buyer as the piece would have to be added to the adjoining to get a fire truck in and out.
@@cliveklg7739 not true. They are currently litigating 99 cases in 36 states yet only have offices in 5 or 6 states. They are actively litigating In Tennessee as we speak
The thing is.. with what money do they pay for a lawyer?.. you have to have pretty deep pockets to go up against a municipality. Hopefully they can find a NP group that will take their case on
@@ericgardner5548 well you should see what the demon Kratts are doing in the big cities in the Democrat cities. You have no clue what goes on. And all those poor Black people in those democrat run cities, they don’t stand a chance
If you had not watched all their videos go back and watch all of them. I think they discuss some of the issues going on in the town that make it hard for people to stand up there. There's a lot of crookedness going on behind the scenes in pigeon forge. A lot of the citizens are supporting them the best they know how at this particular point in time.
@@colossalbigfoot256 this family for your information lived in Ohio. And didn't know that people were losing their homes to eminent domain. Once they started finding out about it they were very upset and started posting videos about him asking other people to share their stories. If you'd watch some of the videos you would have known this. So it's nice for somebody else to say oh well I only stood up because it happened to them. Well why don't you do a little bit more research for you accuse somebody of doing something that didn't do.
This not only happening in a small town, it's the whole country. It's no longer America. Your corrupt politicians sold the country off for their own wealth.
Eminent domain has been a thing for a very long time. It's a nation wide thing. They take property across the US to build roads,highways , buildings etc. The laws need changed.
@@anitawindbigler7100the land is in proposition before you ever buy it. The town, city, county and or state knew what is coming to that land. It’s like around me in Red Bank- the town has built up like crazy between 2004-2008 and is doing it again. Walmart bought up a mass amount of property. The state took land for roads. It was pre planned. It may not happen in a decade or your life time but the town or city you live in is set for change and an interstate addition highway or another town can be coming near your back door soon!!
I live in Georgia and my family and I have been going to Pigeon Forge for 52 years and I hate what it has become the greed is overwhelming. I know what it’s like to be in a David and Goliath situation and what has brought me through these time is knowing that it only took ONE smooth stone to bring Goliath to his knees. Oh and by the way I AM a camper and have many camping friends and I will spread the word about the RV campground. They will not be get my money. You are in our thoughts and prayers and I pray you are blessed beyond measure❤
@@Alveyjr21unfortunately, the people that voted for these crooks are the people who own those businesses & have those jobs. They have a responsibility to help get these corrupted officials out & that may mean a loss of revenue until things are made right. At any rate if they let PF get away with it this time, next time it may be their own business that gets chopped. I love PF, but I will not go there again until & unless this situation is corrected & I hope others feel the same way.
The people who vote own the businesses..maybe. most of them aren't from here or voting. My family and neighbors commute there from surrounding counties to support their families. It punishes the little people.
I don't see why it's a tourist attraction. I watched it build up through my life. Completely destroyed the land for "development" while robbing the people
@@patriciafranklin4073 I hope everyone quits going to Pigeon Forge so I can actually go and enjoy the place without the absurd amount of people crammed in there
The people in power care nothing about our beautiful Smoky Mountains. This destruction of the land has been going on for years. They do not respect anything about the sanctity of our mountains and the wildlife that has been displaced. It is sickening.
The Mayor is SO crooked ...he should be arrested for Abuse of Power...Eminent Domain for a Campground!!?? Ridiculous. I hope a High Profile Lawyer sees this and does some Pro Bono work because if this happened to you it can happen to any of us. I'm so sorry.
I’ve been a licensed RE Broker in 3 states since 1994 , 30 years, my goodness where did all those years go? But anyways, eminent domain has some clearly defined rules that local, state, & federal governments must follow in order to take a property under eminent domain. Now clearly, if they decide they want your property, they are gonna get it but, they must pay you “fair market value” for your property and sometimes that means that it is tied up for years in the courts going back and forth with appraisals and other evidence to show what the fair market value of the property at the time in question is worth. The city had no rights to bulldoze the house until they had not only possession of the property but also legal, unencumbered title to it as well and that they did not have!! There is a massive difference between a property that receives a commercial appraisal versus a residential appraisal. Not only are values completely different 99/100 times but the entire appraisal process as well as the forms and the methods of establishing value are different and they use different comparable , etc., and be legally they can not lay a finger upon the property until just compensation that is agreeable to both parties has been paid and title has been transferred and the encumbering mortgage has been satisfied. This is a slam dunk legal case for a good real estate attorney. I’m not gonna tell you it’s gonna be an easy case, but it’s a very winnable case for y’all and you should prevail with a verdict giving you fair market value for a property valued under a commercial appraisal because whether or not it is currently zoned commercial or not does not matter but what defines the current value on July 1, 2024 is what the highest & best use of the property is. If the property is close to the strip and everything around you has been either converted to or selling as commercial property, then the highest & best use of the property will be a commercial use regardless of what the actual current zoning is. Many times, it’s not uncommon in towns like this that have been expanding and you will see all the old homes along the main drag that have been converted to small shops, restaurants, bed & breakfasts, etc and when looking at the zoning map for the city you may find 100 properties that used to be residential but are now commercial properties but smack dab in the center of it all may still be one or two residential properties that had an elderly couple living in them and they did not want to sell cause they raised families in that home and have memories there but now they have passed and the property is being sold and we have to look at that property now as a commercial property because that will be the “Best” use for it now. No one will purchase that property now with intentions of having kids and spending the next 60+ years there raising kids and grandchildren but it’s day has come to turn it into a store front or office like the others on each side so it’s value must be considered commercial and the appraisals will reflect that. Because of the way this transaction is being handled, it would not surprise me one bit if you walk away awarded Treble damages as long as you have a fair & just court overseeing the case. You are entitled to those damages and should be awarded them from what I’m seeing and comparing to other cases I’ve seen over the past 30 years. I’m sorry I got long winded but thank you for reading. I’m not far from you guys just over here in NC but I also grew up as a Buckeye and my grandfather had a large farm in LaRue Ohio and our childhood home was in a small farming community called West Milton. I have a brother in the Columbus area and a sister in the Dayton area yet. I’ll keep y’all on my prayer list daily cause I probably won’t be able to get to the city meetings but do not give up folks!! Be prepared to ride this as long as you need to ride it in order to get fair compensation!! If we need to set up a gofundme in order to help keep you guys alive and keep your good credit rating until this can slowly maneuver the courts, I’m sure you will have enough of us that would donate to keep your dreams alive! I understand how hard it is cause I lost my property last year in a crazy situation and most folks do not understand how fast & easy our government can steal our property from us but it’s happening every day!!! Please, do not give up!! Y’all still have the fight in you to fight it all so please fight and send the message to Pigeon Forge that they do not get to run over it’s residents!!?
I will share the heck out of this with everyone telling everyone not to spend a dime in Pigeon Forge. The world needs to be made aware of what Pigeon Forge did to you. You need to sue them n they owe you restitution for the total demolition of your home.
Those City officials are dirty. Dirty, dirty, dirty. The Mayor stating he has “no obligation” is CLEAR that he thinks he is above all citizens. Every single person who owns property there better be on alert. It does not make any sense for any government entity and/or officials to take the People’s property. Especially with ZERO financial transactions. We are very interested to hear what you know. My heartfelt condolences for loss of your property, for what you put your heart and soul into to be snuffed out by typical tyrannical elitist government. God bless you and He will keep you.
@@1Mellie65 We need to VOTE OUT these corrupt people, and if they are “selected” rather than e-lected, we need to vote out the people who are putting them in place. NO WARNINGS! It’s already too late, just look at THIS story to know that! What has been done to these people by this mayor has just emboldened crooked mayors everywhere to start wheeling and dealing their constituents’ property! Have you heard of Tiffany Henyard, the mayor of Dolton, IL? If not, look her up! It’s sad, but hilarious at the same time. There’s also another one who is actively corrupt and has their city held hostage, I can’t remember her name. And then all the crooked appointed DAs across America…we need to get these people GONE from power!
If it is similar to Alabama the mayor is probably correct. I am a councilman in Alabama. The mayor can recommend to us things to vote on and what he would like us to do, but he cannot spend a dime without council approval, and the council would have to approve something like this and he would not have a vote in the matter. It is however amazing to me that it actually came to this point. We have purchased property from residents and we were able to negotiate a fair deal for all sides. We never have had to get to this point. It is sad.
The county did this to my family about 20 years ago. They took approximately 20 acres for a school to be built and to this day there is not a school on that property. My family did accept the pennie’s they were offering for it due to the county threatening to condemn it. At the time the attorneys we talked to said there was nothing that could be done. I hope you kick their ass and get all that you deserve. Hopefully the good ole boys won’t win again.
My whole family is a first hand witness to corruption in Gatlinburg! We sold our houses in our same neighborhood so did everyone who lived in that neighborhood because they built a new rental on a hill that should have never been built on causing all kinds of problems for the two families next door to the new rental. They chased so many families off of BrentHills Blvd in Gatlinburg
Take it to the limit! Go all the way to the supreme courts, don't stop. We need to rally with this family. We need to change the constitution on Eminent Domain!
Yes, it needs to go as high as it needs to go to get these good folks their “fair market value” but I argue the need to change the use of eminent domain throughout the country. It is a very good tool that benefits both city and residents but there are rules that have been ignored, broken, etc here that needs to be fixed. When it is used as designed, it is an asset for us all but there are crooks running the show right now which is the problem
@@Roblox_yt-k1x 😂 The house is already gone. Besides that, the property already belonged to the city before they purchased it. If anything, there was some shady dealings in regards to the sale. How do you think they got it so cheap!??? Their own words were it “fell into their lap”. With the way the market it, they should have known something was wrong. City offered them numerous amounts far exceeding the appraisal value of the home, only for the family to want millions! Nothing more than incompetence in regard to the home purchase. They’re only in for sympathy and the money!
The City of Colorado Springs took my home and the City Attorney stated "Home rule authority" beat both the State and Federal Constitution's protection against takings .... Didn't get compensated ... But I did run for office and win because the only way to make a bureaucrat squirm is becoming their boss
This same thing happened to a family in Oklahoma. They sued and won 2.9 million. They had refused all offers for the home. I'm sorry for your loss. Keep fighting. Your rights have been severely violated.
My roots are in Gatlinburg, the old farm is still in the family, this is the opposite of the mindset of a mountain man, (this one anyway), to treat folks like this. This is an outrage, makes the mayor and all involved appear to be soulless crooks. Corruption at the highest level. Praying for justice for the Race family.
In the 1970's a missionary who owned a house had to go to court in a similar problem at the end the Judge said...he owned the house outright and the mortgage company was instructed to "give" the house to him for the sum of $1.00 therefore, his mortgasge was "paid" and THEN the county, state, and mortgage company had to find them a new home, no down payment and they had to do it within 6 months...and they did.
I don't think the past owner knew it she was an older lady who tried to sell the land to the mayor and the mayor said he did not want to buy it. So she did not know as far as I know that the land was going to be used for a road. The mayor though did.
The Title Company should have done their research before that actual sale. It is their job to search records for any issues with a property. The Title Company should be contacted.
@@reenakemp9132the people of Pigeon Forge need to clean house and get the crooks out. They'll take anyone's property if they want it. Make enough noise the news can't ignore it.
I don’t know why this is showing up on my feed this morning but I wanted to say the Lady telling about their struggles to lift themselves up is compelling on so many levels. The core values and integrity are what has made our country thrive.
@@sandyirizarry3491 The city was intentional with this. They want to bleed their problem dry of cash and make it go away. Sounds like the property wasn't assesed properly and tearing down the house means it can no longer be seen to value properly. No matter what they were offered this looks bad for city officials. Looks like they have something to hide and they are playing games with the property owners. This has all kinds of stink on it! The rats are at play! If this story gains enough traction, honest people in the know will come forward. It stinks like a de*d rat!
It’s only going to get worse due to outsiders moving there and bring their lifestyles with them. I live in Pa. And have been visiting Eastern Tennessee for decades. I find fewer and fewer native Tennessean’s. It’s losing it charm.
Oh my word!! I can't believe you are in this situation. I live in Central Florida and we have/had an eminent domain case with Duke Energy. We have 10 beautiful acres with a small 2 bedroom cottage, shop, and barn. It's been our home for almost 20 years. They contacted us 2 years ago and said they would be taking 2 acres for a new power line. The acreage they wanted backs up to the beautiful view we have of the protected wetlands we live by. Our beautiful view 😢. They would be there for 2 years. I was so mad, sad, and confused. I have watched my 4 grandchildren play in that area and ride their 4-wheelers, build things, fairy houses, and all the kid things. They had a treehouse too. It all was going to be gone. I made them PAY!! And I got a lawyer. We settled and if they go 1 day over 2 years, they will pay us 2,000 per month that they go over that time frame. I would have happily given that money up for our land back. 😢 I can not believe they took such a beautiful home and you have 0 compensation. I am so glad you're fighting against them. You should be compensated!! That is your legacy and your life! I'm so sorry and I'll be praying for you. 😔 ❤ Meanwhile, I'm still waking up to heavy power equipment every morning at 6 . They have 4 months left and I don't think they'll make it. Don't stop fighting.
Yes, that will fix them. Sue them and then they will just further extort those around them in the community ro pay them. I bet you point at others when you are saying whst is wrong with this country.
Mayor Wear knew what was going to happen to this house before yall even bought it. when he and his brother bought the property next to you , they knew what they was doing. I'd gather up the original road construction plans , the new road construction plans, all notes and records and go to the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Mayor Wear is not the end-all be-all headhoncho in Tennessee, no matter how much he thinks he is. There is a process to eminent domain that even he has to follow. If that is not followed , yes you can file a lawsuit against him , and the county.
I had part of my front yard taken from em dom. But I had an attorney and knew when I was buying that the projected plan had part of my prop. But she doesn’t even mention she has an attorney. The atty should have been handling this and set up an em dom real estate appraisal to justify her claims and her atty should handle anything regarding this but she doesn’t mention that she has representation. That is not wise. Town hall meetings is not the way to handle this
i found out when visiting there several years ago with a friend looking to buy rental properties on wears valley. when talking to the builders themselves my friend decided to bail out when i came to him with news from the builders themselves. he was soooo done he went to florida and bought properties there instead. noone wants to go vacation in a place thats supposedly family oriented when they take the families homes from the very place they call a family place is pathetic!!! gives me more incentive not to go!!!! not giving my money to a place that DOESNT even respect their own people!!! disgusting at best!
@@jessicaw.6321 I went through the town buying a bit bc of my front yard to widen the road. This seems off to me. But she was notified of the bulldozing and notified the towns best offer. IF SHE WANTED MORE SHE IS ABLE TO HAVE A COURT DESIDE AND IF SHE LOSES THEN SHE PAYS COURT COSTS. So something seems fishy to me here.
@@RottieParade-ro9bu you were probably a lucky one that was told the information ahead of time. She was not told anything ahead of time. And if you've watched all the videos then you've gotten a lot more information about all the situation. The only reason the road design was changed is because somebody in the government there is a co-owner of the RV park that they decided to buy and renovate and turn into a brand new one. The road originally was going to go through a corner of the RV lot they had nothing on it. They live in Ohio. And they were not towed anything about a road being diverted because of someone buying a campground and wanted to renovate it or anything like that. The mayor set there from his property which he could see their house and on purposely watch them renovate it for 7 months not once stopping to tell them about The fact that the land was going to be taken by the city. He watched them do it. You could always go down to the courthouse if you live in the area July 8th I think she said it's when they're going to have their next city hall and see for yourself if it's true or not. But they've been a lot of people that have went to the meetings and so far everything seems to be legit. The governments have gotten corrupt so bad in cities all over our country not just our federal government. And so many people have lost their property to illegal intimate domain that she's not the first one that this has happened to. Where they have been bullied lied to or treated out of their property You're many stories of such the events happening. That are starting to come out. You can believe this fish if you want I happen to believe what she's saying.
Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where if you were a Senator, or if you were a member of Congress, And it affected them guaranteed something would’ve gotten done, but because this is an actual civilian,… well, the rest is history…. My in-laws lost property in Massachusetts due to what they called eminent domain so that “Prince Spaghetti” could build an open up a headquarters plant in Lowell, Massachusetts… my in-laws lost a big portion of their property because of this so-called eminent domain, years later, “Prince Spaghetti” decided they no longer wanted their headquarters in Lowell, Massachusetts, and sold the building off and left…. Eminent domain is nothing but a mockery! It’s a way for people to take what they don’t own… and want…..!
Thank the Supreme Court for ruling this activity is legal. And, thank your fellow citizens that refuse to throw off an abusive government. There used to be a day when your fellow citizens would come to your defense. Now, more people just use government as a weapon against their fellow citizens. Kelso v New London, CT 2005 We are not living in a free country! But, it’s by the choice of the majority. That’s what is called democracy by those that embrace democracy as a weapon of hate. It was a major reason we were not founded as a democracy. But, weak-minded people that lack any moral character or integrity see democracy as the best way to over power those that would choose to be free.
If your property is "taken" under eminent domain, the county must notify all parties that the property is now the property of the county. You are entitled to get an independent appraisal for your property. No one can "force" you to accept a low ball offer. 5th amendment protects you. You folks need to find a owner friendly court not corrupted be a builder.and county.
It’s not the town’s fault, it is corrupt politicians taking what they want. The mayor knew what was going on and sat on a hill above watching them working on their home! Do NOT punish the workers of Pigeon Forge!
It’s not what it used to be before all of this. It’s lost its family feel. Too many breweries and too much being built in top of on top of already existing businesses. The Christmas lights are crap now. At least they were the last time we were there. There are too many other lights distracting from them. We used to go several times a year. Nothing there for us anymore. That’s my personal opinion and I know a lot will disagree with me. They’ve ruined the beautiful mountains.
@@ritadyer9295 We felt the same way 4 years ago and have not been back. Made a comment about the Christmas Lights to where we spent the week and she agreed with us. Will not be going back.
I am so so sorry that you are having to go through this horror. I have lived in Sevier County for over 50 years and love my community. I truly pray that justice will be done. ❤Thank you for your honesty. My heart is breaking for you.
If you sue them in federal court and request a jury you will see a huge settlement . . The city is on the hook for your loss , your mortgage, and mental anguish compensation. No government can take property without compensation and it would be in the best interest for the city to offer a good settlement now before it goes to court. Do not miss any payments on this property and make sure all the taxes are paid because they want to drag this out and maybe get the house in foreclosure .
I think a key piece of the puzzle is being left out, that is that the city did deposit the appraised value into the court registry which legally gives city access to the property. This is how eminent domain in Tennesse is handled. The date of deposit provides city with possession. Once deposit is made, the property owner and lender can withdraw.
I agree that they should not not miss a payment... Messing up their credit is a bad idea in general and they don't need anymore added headaches. You guys have done a great job so far with keeping everything documented from what I've watched and just keep going including making that payment. I'm just now tuning in to this but from what I have seen its wild to me that y'all have not been compensated... It doesn't shock me that the house was forcibly taken and demolished that was unfortunately always going to be the outcome but it definitely should've happened after fair compensation on a fair market (commercial) evaluation. 🤷
They were offered 490k 10/23. They paid 309k 8/22. The Race’s countered offered 3M and refused a settlement. The city offered a fair price. The Race family is not entitled to become millionaires on the backs of the Pigeon Forge taxpayers. Clearly 3M is not a fair price.
I also find it interesting in the Jul 8th video Mrs Race admits that this man in all the videos with her is her son. We were shocked. Where has her husband been? Why have her adult son play the role of her “mate” in all these videos? Appears like an emotion manipulation for followers.
Eminent domain is something that should be abolished, I've seen the state and county take property from people who did not want to sale over and over again.
As a child I experienced this process numerous times ! Eminent domain ! Huh ! What was that phrase they drummed in our heads ? Land of the free home of the brave ! What a joke !
The city is waiting on it to default with the mortgage lender then they can buy at courthouse steps. If you have an escrow account there should be a homeowners policy involved. If you did not escrow then call your agent. I am a Loan Officer even when we see property bought by force of city your still on the deed and until you convey your interest then they do not have clear title. I hope you don't have to fight city hall with expensive attorneys. Prayers as in 24 years in lending have I EVER heard such criminal actions 🙏🙏🙏
KEEP PRAISING AND GLORIFYING GOD!! HE is using these things to expose the lies, corruption, collusion, etc. HE will make it right in the end, just as He did for Job!! Sending LOVE, HUGS, PRAYERS!!! 🥰🤗🙏🙏🙏
I know it’s easy for all of us to say “stay strong” or “keep fighting”. I don’t know why, but you are right, the Lord has chosen for you to walk this path through this valley. But rest assured, as you hold on to Him, He will lead you out and up over the mountain! Trusting in the Lord and owning your truth will bring what is done “in the dark into the light”! Covering you in prayers for strength and peace during this time. God Bless🙏❤️
Call your homeowner's insurance company. File a claim for a damaged house and get an adjuster over there PRONTO. When they show up & see that there is NO house, they will have a problem, and the insurance company will want to be made whole
Damn. This is awful and how DARE they TAKE YOUR HOME and not pay you for it, leaving you responsible for a house payment for a house that the CITY took illegal possession of, how dare they!
Maybe you should contact the Institute for Justice . They are on U -Tube . Prayers for you & your family ! I have zero desire to ever spend another dollar in that corrupt town ! God bless y’all ! ❤
I am so sorry that this has happened. I pray that everything works out for your good. Stay strong and continue to document in triplicate and not all in one place.
Sadly, truth doesn’t always prevail when it comes to legal issues. I learned this the hard way in a crooked land deal. The sooner you get a lawyer, the better. I hope and pray the best for you.
Keep in mind that when government and power brokers that line politicians pockets work together, you will always lose. I hope for a better outcome for you in the future. In my thoughts and prayers as you continue to face this difficult challenge.
The irony is that a lawyer will charge you as much as you’ll get in a lawsuit. I feel your frustration. This is so unfair that the mayor will drive you to bankruptcy. I’m so sorry.
Since it’s still in your name and it was destroyed is that grounds for an insurance claim, and then the insurance company has to go back on the city? Also since they destroyed the house before the title was changed to their name doesn’t that open to a whole other litany of liability and litigation? So sorry you are having to deal with this, we are with you and have continued prayers for you and your entire family. The corruption of government starts at the most local levels, and we need people to hold the line. Hold the line special lady! Gods will be done!!!
Can you file an insurance claim? They destroyed your home without your consent it was demolished by heavy equipment. You should be able to make a total loss claim and pay off the mortgage
Hang on to your faith! It's okay to be hurt and angry and to cry. It's God given emotions. I'd sue the town and take it to Tennessee state representatives, and on up the chain. It's disgusting that they didn't feel moral obligations to inform you. God will give you strength to persue justice. I'm so sorry that you're being treated so poorly. They have no shame. I see the fight in your eyes. God will turn this around and expose the greed and wrong doings. My prayers are with you! Stand strong!
You can call all 3 credit bureaus and FREEZE your credit..they have to oblige..very sorry this happened to you. This country isn't constitutionaly sound anymore..we're all behind you and support you..God Bless.❤
This will zap all of your energy and happiness. I don't understand what you are going through, but I can see and hear the pain in your face and voice. I had a neighbor break every rule as a land owner and dump/funnel water onto my property and put a ditch and an illegal road in front of my home. I had another neighbor burn house trash illegally and dump sewer on their land because their septic was not hooked up. I fought with the county and the neighbors. It took its toll on my life and happiness. I sold the property and moved away. God had better things for me. God has something better for you. God bless you.
After hearing this my family and my brothers and sisters families won’t be back to that area for vacation. This is complete bs and I hope the world hears about this
This is heartbreaking that this is happening 😢 I don’t understand how people can do these things and they make you feel like the bad guy and your stuck fighting
I’m so sorry. They say you can’t fight city hall. I say you can. Also, you are such a beautiful woman! God bless you. I 🙏 pray you get justice for your family!!!
This happened to my mother back in the 80's when they were building a new road. She was paid $2.00 and they claimed eminent domain. There was nothing she could do.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your home. like you I have worked since I was 14. I couldn't imagine this happen to me. stand in your faith and like you said it will come to light. send it out to all media outlets. get you a good lawyer that is not from that area and is not afraid to fight that crooked Mayor and his cronies. God will get you through this. my prayers go up for you and your family. your a strong woman and they thought that you would let it go. DON'T KEEP FIGHTING FOR WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS!!! God bless you and your family
Okay I've done a little research on Tennessee rules of eminent domain and see that condemning authorities such as City of Pigeon Forge must first deposit with the court the amount of the appraised value, in order for city to take possession. My guess is that the city did complete this step so I'm looking for the Race family to clarify. If this deposit happened, then any statement saying city has not yet paid is inaccurate. Keep in mind this deposit does not prevent the family from further litigating to obtain additional money. They will have this opportunity.
Why the hell hasn't a decent news media crawled all over this? Can you call your insurance company and let them know it was bulldozed? Let the insurance company take it up with the county? I don't know about Tennessee, but Colorado where I am, commercial property appraises for about 4x what residential does. I think it's time for a recall for that mayor.
@@amiedavis5257 There are only 8 media companies in the U.S. they're all conglomerate Leftist/ facist owned. If you trust them for fair and balanced reporting you are the problem.
This is absolutely criminal, you should call every News Station you can, & even try Inside Edition so you can get this tragic story out to as many people as possible. I hope you get this resolved in your favor. And Vote that corrupt Mayor OUT OF OFFICE Pigeon Forge, I'll NEVER come back & neither will my family or my friends. God Bless, and keep fighting for what's rightfully YOURS!
Count it all Joy! Your reward is in heaven. This is the suffering we are all going to endure. I am so sorry. This is not our home. Be the light. You are suffering for the Kingdom is coming.
