The Supreme Court decided today to allow cities to destroy homes to make way for commercial projects.

From the article:

"...cities now have wide power to bulldoze residences for projects such as shopping malls and hotel complexes in order to generate tax revenue."

and one of the dissenting justices observed:

"The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."

It's horrible to imagine a future where any megastore with enough kickbacks can destroy your home.
