A Dallas man, who “wanted to stay where the hell he was and be left the hell alone,” is facing eminent domain to make way for a roadway for real estate development deal. That’s the jist of this Dallas Observer piece.
The piece says the public reason for the taking of his property is straightening an intersection 2 blocks away, but alludes to the real reason being a real estate development by former Cowboys.
Here’s what the landowner says transpired:
- Dallas Public Works recommended taking his property.
- One City Council meeting occured to approve it.
- The landowner says the process was not transperant and sent the message, ““Screw you very much.”
