Kelo -vs- Church in Oklahoma
In the original SimCity game, this type of post-Kelo action would be trouble. Every hardcore SimCity player knew that bulldozing a church to redevelop the land it sat on would result in an earthquake. Now, in Oklahoma, a political earthquake may be coming. The Anchoress tells a story of how churches, homes, and businesses are going to be bulldozed to make room for a new "Super Center" of stores, including a Home Depot.
The Kelo decision of the US Supreme Court wasn't where this started. It was around before. The Supremes just turned the gravel road of tax-based seizures into a superhighway. Let's home someone cleans this mess up in my lifetime.
