No Eminent Domain for Hua

By: Mr. Wilson on May 2, 2006
The City Council acted wisely yesterday and eliminated any fears that eminent domain would be used to acquire Chan Hua's property at 14th and 'Q'. I'm especially interested in this:
In the past week, private parties have expressed interest in relocating Hua and then dealing with the city, possibly by becoming part of the development team. As private operators, they wouldn’t have the same constraints.
That's the way these things should work. If the City can't win with Mr. Hua, then having a private party step in to work with him -- especially since Mr. Hua has said he is willing to negotiate, so long as the deal is fair for him -- is an ideal solution. Everybody will come out ahead. I'm crossing my fingers.
