Durham North Carolina Land Grab By Transit Authority Using Eminant Domain

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The theft of land and a business by the Durham Triangle Transit Authority is an atrocity. The TTA has decided that they needed to use the land of a local small business. That is within their right, but they offered him $150,000 less than the land appraised for, and that is when they crossed the line into theft. The use of eminent domain was designed to benefit the public while providing a fair return for the land owner.

These greedy politicians have instead decided to take a mans livelihood, his business, and land by the force of their government power. Which means by the force of a gun, and then give him less than fair value for the property.

You and I would go to jail for this.

The Triangle Transit Authority said it did nothing wrong when it exercised eminent domain for a Durham car repair shop. Last year, the TTA seized Bob’s Service Garage on Alston Avenue.

But, the shop’s owner, Bob Morrison, hasn’t moved out yet. His lawyers maintain it’s because he can’t afford to leave.

A TTA lawyer said the transit authority is giving him about $216,000 for the property. His lawyers said it was appraised for more than $350,000. News 14 Carolina .

You and I would go to jail if we ever tried to do this.
