For years, Coral Gables homeowner Orlando Capote has resisted attempts to buy him out, even as a new mixed-use development took over the rest of the neighborhood.

If the guy doesn't want to sell that is his right.

The mixed use development is a purely commercial enterprise and is not a reason to use eminent domain and force the guy off the property.

It's not your property if the govt wants it.

That would be a GoFundMe I’d contribute to

But I guarantee those government crooks would get that taken down with the quickness

Some people in this thread didn't watch the video. There is nothing about eminent domain in this. It's the city levying bullshite code enforcements.

In most states you can't use eminent domain for commercial use. That's why they're hitting him with fines so they can lien his property and take it over.

Just to piss them off, I would turn my residence into a commercial business to meet code enforcement.

A utilities company used imminent domain on my family’s farm land several decades ago.

Didn’t want all of their land, so it ended up being sectioned so the remaining land is essentially useless now.

I think offered like .10 on the dollar an acres.

Highway robbery.

Coral Gables can go frick themselves

With that being said, what a nightmare of a living situation that guy now has. What a shame.

OT needs to get this guy funded. And figure out a way to crap on the developer.

And let’s cut the crap with eminent domain terms. This is just garden variety theft from some guy who isn’t bothering anyone.
