Post a Comment*The irony in this cartoon is PERFECT! I can't think of anything more un-American than eminent domain, and it's so sad Cincinnati is being connected to yet one more negative issue. The homeowners may have won, but an entire neighborhood is lost forever - and all for yet another shopping center and office buildings. There are no winners here.
Sad image, but I think the ripples of this will be felt for a while. I think the winners are those individuals that are now safe from this type of theft from developers and City's. Might did not make right.
I absolutely disagree with the owners of these houses. They had the opportunity to get DOUBLE and TRIPLE what their ratty little houses were worth and they turned it down. Idiots. Now what have they got? 3 houses on an empty lot. Good for them. This is Norwood we're talking here, not Indian Hill. They should have taken the money and run. I think they are holding out for more $$. Wouldn't surprise me to read about them in the news in a couple weeks, that they "settled" with the city.
Of course anonymous would write something like that and not put a name on it. You're obviously not a home-owner, or put value in family history. You're not even worth my time to explain it.
The root of the problem here is that the developer essentially low-balled the holdouts.
You will see, in the next 6-8 weeks, a settlement reached on the properties, for big $$$$$.
The old farts who say they are moving back into their home are just plain idiots.
to "Not Annonymous" (way to go by stepping up and identifying yourself the way you said I didn't)
I am ABSOLUTELY a homeowner, been in this house 15 years, you jackass. What those old farts (well said, Todd) in Norwood want is more money. Plain and simple. There is no "family history" involved. Those houses are ratty and rundown, not worth the deed they're printed on. I guarantee those owners will settle for way more than they were originally offered, which was double and triple the value to begin with, and move to some nice retirement home. Good riddance. I am tired of looking at those shacks. Where do you live, Norwood too? Moron. Come back to this site when they've settled, and let's see what you have to say about "family history" then.
Hey "not anonymous":
Homeowner is one word, not hyphenated, you dumbass. Go back and get your GED and move out of Norwood.
I think the city of Norwood could now classify this area as "blight" instead of "deteriorating".
Stay away from Pendery & Otto in the Campbel County elections this fall. They have voted in favor of eminent domain in the past!
Why not just save time and declare all of Norwood except for Rookwood a blight, tear it down, and build even MORE upscale shopping? After all, that seems to be the only way Norwood knows how to fix its problems.
Wow! so you accually believe that a place like Hyde Park is superior to a place with some history, just b/c it's run down? I mean, you want o talk about run down ? How about the run down sad world that is hyde park! I don't think copycat soccer moms and clone salemen can relace real people with real problems in the real world. These are ppls lives and homes and familys you want to get rid of. they don't have the money the time or the MINDSTATE to move just b/c the local bank wants a bigger piece of the pie. That shithole has no character at all!
for those who think the holdouts were waiting for more money, such as anonymous and anonymous still, legal fees totaled more than $120,000 each for each family. joe horney suffered a bitter divorce, carl gamble is now dead from stress related trauma, joy gamble lives in a studio apartment and can't drive and the burtons live in the basement of a church. so, if you think all of that, plus four years of your life given to fighting eminent domain against more powerful people with a lot more resources, is worth the extra money, i think your priorities might be askew. don't argue things you don't know anything about.
