Put them all on the block with the Sheriff and advertise according to state law and see the neighbors buy them. Neighbors have asked to buy these properties for decades!! Durel is only interested now bc the increased property value on the northside and downtown is more than the developers who are accustomed to buying acreage refuse to pay. Broad and vague language in the previous law attempts would have let Joey steal from the poor to give to the rich. We do not have much blight other than the city's adjudicated properties!! "Blight" legislation in major cities with miles and miles and miles of problems is TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE for Lafayette. Time to lawyer up against this tyrant!! Be sure to read the fine print on defining "blight" and singling out only the northside as "targeted". - realitychecks Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:27:49 +0100
