Professor Bainbridge: Eminent Domain Crimes

Professor Bainbridge is exposing a Los Angeles eminent domain abuse case with a twist: The original landowner not only lost his property for the use of another private business, but the city council managed to commit fraud against city taxpayers at the same time.

I’m going to leave out the part about how the “winning developer” made campaign contributions to top city officials. Two crimes is enough for one story. Anything more is piling on.
