07/12/05: Not in recent memory has one United States Supreme Court decision generated so much discussion in coffee shops and around water coolers.

This decision has implications far beyond the concerns of private homeowners. There may well be a time when we read about the condemnation of a free-standing motel, strip center, movie theater or fast-food restaurant in order to create a higher tax-generating property. Private real estate ownership is the bedrock of the American dream and identity, and it appears that in the name of short-term gain, this decision may undo one our most precious guarantees.
