[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the AI Wars. Katie, you had some thoughts and some observations about the most recent things going on with Anthropic, with OpenAI, with Google XAI and stuff like that. So at the table, what’s going on? Katie Robbert: I don’t want to get too deep into the weeds about why people are jumping ship on OpenAI and moving toward the cloud. That’s in the news, it’s political, you can catch up on that. The short version is that decisions from the top at each of these companies have been made that people either agree with or don’t based on their own values and the values of their companies. When publicly traded companies make unpopular decisions that don’t align with the majority of their user base, people jump ship. They were like, okay, I don’t want to use you. We’ve seen it with Target and many other companies that made decisions people didn’t feel aligned with their personal values. Now we are seeing people abandoning OpenAI and signing on to Anthropic’s Claude. That’s what I wanted to chat about today because we talk a lot about business continuity and risk management. What happens when you get too closely tied to one piece of software and something goes wrong? We’ve talked about this on past episodes in theory because, up until now, software outages have generally been temporary. You don’t often see a mass exodus of a very popular piece of software that people have built their entire businesses around. Before we get into what this means for the end user and possible solutions, Chris, I would like to get your thoughts, maybe your cat’s thoughts on what’s going on. Christopher S. Penn: One of the things we’ve said from very early on in the AI space, because it changes so rapidly, is that brand loyalty to any vendor is generally a bad idea. If you were a hater of Google Bard—for good reason—Bard was a terrible model. If you said, I’m never going to touch another Google product again, you would have missed out on Gemini and Gemini 3 and 3.1, which is currently the top state‑of‑the‑art model. If you were all in on Claude, when Claude 2.1 and 2.5 came out and were terrible, you would have missed out on the current generation of Opus 4.6 and so on. Two things come to mind. One, brand loyalty in this space is very dangerous. It is dangerous in tech in general. Not to get too political, but the tech companies do not care about you, so there’s no reason to give them your loyalty. Second, as people start building agentic AI, you should think about abstraction layers. This concept dates back to the earliest days of computing: we never want to code directly against a model or an operating system. Instead we want an abstraction layer that separates our code from the machinery. It’s like an engine compartment in a car—you should be able to put in a new engine without ripping apart the entire car. If you do that well when building AI agents, when a new model comes along—regardless of political circumstances or news headlines—you can pull the old engine out, install the new one, and keep delivering the highest‑quality product. Katie Robbert: I don’t disagree with that, but that is not accessible to everybody, especially smaller businesses that view software like OpenAI or Google’s Gemini as desperately needed solutions. We’ve relied on Claude and Co‑Work, its desktop application, heavily. Over the weekend I realized how reliant I’ve become on it in the past two weeks. If it stopped working, what does that mean for the work I’m trying to move forward? That’s a huge concern because I don’t have the coding skills or resources to replicate it right now. What I’ve been doing in Co‑Work is because we’re limited on resources, but Co‑Work has advanced to the point where I can replicate what I would need if I hired a team of designers, developers, and marketers. It shook me to my core that this could go away. So what does that mean for me, the business owner, in the middle of multiple projects if I can’t access them? This morning Claude had an outage—unsurprisingly, the servers were overloaded because people are stepping away from OpenAI and moving into Claude. Claude released an ad: “Switch to Claude without starting over. Brief your preferences and context from other AI providers to Claude. With one copy‑paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans.” For many people the ability to switch from one large language model to another felt like a barrier because everything built inside OpenAI couldn’t be transferred. Claude removed that barrier, opening the floodgates, and their servers were overloaded. Users who had been using the system regularly were like, what do you mean? I can’t get the work done I planned for this morning. Christopher S. Penn: There are two different answers depending on who you are. For you, Katie, as the CEO and my business partner, I would come over, say we’re going to learn Claude code, install the terminal application, and install Claude code router, which allows you to switch to any model from any provider so you can continue getting work done. Unfortunately, that isn’t a scalable option for everyone in our community. My suggestion for others is that it’s slightly harder but almost every major company has an environment where you can install a no‑code solution that provides at least some of those capabilities. Google’s is called Anti‑Gravity. OpenAI’s is called Codex. Alibaba’s can be used within tools like Client or Kil. If you have backed up your prompts and workflows, you can move them into other systems relatively painlessly. For example, Google’s Anti‑Gravity supports the skills format, so if you’ve built skills like the Co‑CEO, you can bring them into Anti‑Gravity. It’s not obvious, but you can port from one system to another relatively quickly. Katie Robbert: That brings us to the point that software fails—it’s just code. What is your backup plan if the system you’re heavily reliant on goes away? We’ve always said hypothetically, “if it goes away…,” and now we’re at that point. Not only are people leaving a major software provider, they are also struggling with switching costs. They’re struggling to bring their stuff over because everything lives within the system. A lot of people are building and not documenting, and that’s a problem. Christopher S. Penn: It is a problem. If you’ve been in the space for a while and understand the technology, backups and fallback systems have gotten incredibly good. About a month ago Alibaba released Quinn 3.5 in various sizes. The version that runs on a nice MacBook is really good—scary good. It’s about the equivalent of Gemini 3 Flash, the day‑to‑day model many folks use without realizing it. Having an open‑weights model you can install on a laptop that rivals state‑of‑the‑art as of three months ago is nuts. The challenge is that it’s not well documented, but it’s something we’ve been saying for two or three years: if you’re going all in on AI, you need a backup system that is capable. The good news is that providers like Alibaba, Quinn, Kimmy, Moonshot, and Jipu AI—many Chinese companies—ensure the technology isn’t going away. So even if Anthropic or OpenAI went out of business tomorrow, you have access to the technologies themselves. You can keep going while everyone else is stuck. Katie Robbert: If it’s not a concern for executives mandating AI integration, it should open eyes to the possibility of failure. Let’s be realistic—it’s not going to happen tomorrow, but it makes me think of the panic when Google Analytics switched from Universal Analytics to GA4. The systems aren’t compatible, data definitions changed, and companies lost historic data. Fortunately we had a backup plan. Chris, you always ran Matomo in the background as a secondary system in case something happened with Google Analytics, so we still had historic data. We’re at a pivotal point again: if you don’t have a backup system for your agentic AI workflows, you’re in trouble. Guess what? It’s going to fail, it will come crashing down, and you won’t know what to do. So let’s figure that out. Christopher S. Penn: If you’re building with agentic autonomous systems like Open Claw and its variants and you’re not building on an open‑weights model first, you’re taking unnecessary risks. Today’s open‑weights models like Quinn 3.5 and Minimax M2.5 are smart, capable, and about one‑tenth the cost of Western providers. If you have a box on your desk, you can run your life on it. You’d better use a model or have an abstraction layer that allows you to switch models so you can continue to run your life from this box. I would not rely on a pure API play from one major provider because if they go away, the transition will be rough. Now is the best time to build that level of abstraction. If you’re using tools like Claude code or other coding tools, you can have them make these changes for you. You have to be able to articulate it, and you should articulate with the 5B framework by Trust Insights. Once you do that, you can be proactive about preventing disasters. Katie Robbert: Is that unique to coding tools or does it also apply to chats and custom LLMs people have built? Obviously we have background information for Co‑CEO well documented, but let’s say we didn’t. Let’s say we built it and it lived as a skill somewhere. That’s a concern because we’ve grown to heavily rely on that custom agent. What if Claude shuts down tomorrow? We can’t access it. What do we do? Christopher S. Penn: The Co‑CEO—those fancy words like agents and skills—they’re just prompts. You can take that skill, which is a prompt file, fire up Anything LLM, turn on Quinn 3.5, and it will read that skill and get to work. You can do that in consumer applications like Anything LLM, which is just a chat box like Claude. The only thing uniquely missing right now is an equivalent for Claude Co‑Work, but it won’t be long before other tools have that. Even today you can use a tool like Klein or Kelo inside Visual Studio Code, install those skills, and have access to them. So even with Co‑CEO, you can drop that skill because it’s just a prompt and resume where you left off, as long as you have all data backed up and not living in someone else’s system, and you have good data governance. The tools are almost agnostic. All models are incredibly smart these days, even open‑weights models. I saw an open‑weights model over the weekend with 13 billion parameters that runs in about 12 GB of VRAM, so a mid‑range gaming laptop can run it. Co‑CEO Katie could live on perpetuity on a decent laptop. Katie Robbert: But you have to have good data governance. You need backups and documentation, then you can move them to any other system to make it more tool‑agnostic. If you don’t have good data governance or the basic prompts you’re reusing, we’ve been talking about this since day one. What’s in your prompt library? What frameworks are you using? What knowledge blocks have you created? If you don’t have those, you need to stop, put everything down, and start creating them, because you’ll be in a world of hurt without the basics. If you have a custom GPT you use daily, is it well documented—how it works, how it’s updated, how it’s maintained—so that if you can no longer subscribe to OpenAI, you can move to a different system. Katie Robbert: That move, especially if you’re using client‑facing tools, is not going to be overly traumatic. It’s not going to bring everything to a screeching halt. Many companies think everything will halt, but we haven’t explored personally what Claude meant by a copy‑paste migration. It feels like an oversimplification of what you actually have to do to replicate your system in Claude. Katie Robbert: But the fact they’re thinking about it, knowing people are panicking, is a good thing for Claude. It’s probably more complicated. The more you build, the deeper you are in the weeds, the more complicated it will be to port everything over. That’s why, as you build, you need documentation. Katie Robbert: That’s for nerds. Katie Robbert: I’m a nerd. I need documentation because it makes my life easier. You’re the first to ask, “where’s the documentation?” Do you have the PRD? Do you have the business requirements? I’m not touching anything until we have that. It makes me incredibly happy because look how much more you’ve accomplished with these systems and how zero panic you have about the AI wars—you can use whatever system you feel like that day. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. For folks listening, you can catch this on YouTube. This is my folder of all stuff—my Claude environment. It lives outside of Claude, on my hard drive, backed up to Trust Insights’ Google Cloud every Monday and Friday. It includes agents, document reviewers, the CFO, Co‑CEO, Katie, documentation, rules files for code standards, reference and research knowledge blocks, individual skills, and a separate folder of knowledge blocks. All of this lives outside any AI system—just files on disk backed up to our cloud twice a week. So no matter what, if my laptop melts down or gets hit by a meteor, I won’t lose mission‑critical data. This is basic good data governance. No matter what happens in the industry, if all the Western tech providers shut down tomorrow, I can spin up LM Studio, turn on the quantized model, and run it on my computer with my tools and rules. Our business stays in business when the rest of the world grinds to a halt. That will be a differentiating factor for AI‑forward companies: have a backup ready, flip the switch, and we’re switched over. Katie Robbert: If we look at it in a different context, it’s like the panic when a human decides to leave a company. You have that two‑week window to download everything they’ve ever done—wrong approach. It’s the same if you don’t have documentation for a human and no redundancy plan. If Chris wants to go on vacation, everything can’t come to a screeching halt. We’ve put controls in place so he can step away. We want that for any employee. Many companies don’t have even that basic level of documentation. If each analyst does a unique job and no one else can do it, you have no redundancy, no backup plan. If that analyst leaves for a better job, clients get mad while you scramble. It’s the same scenario with software. Christopher S. Penn: Now that’s a topic for another time, but one thing I’ve seen is the less you as an individual have fair knowledge, the more irreplaceable you theoretically are. That’s not true. Many protect job security by not documenting, but if everything is well documented, a less competent match could replace you. We saw Jack Dorsey’s company Block cut its workforce by 5,000, saying they’re AI‑forward. There’s a constant push‑pull: if you have SOPs and documentation, what’s to stop you from being replaced by a machine? Katie Robbert: I say bring it. I would love that, but I’m also professionally not an insecure human. You can’t replace a human’s critical thinking. If the majority of what you do is repetitive, that’s replaceable. What you bring to the table—creativity, critical thinking, connecting the dots before AI, documentation, owning business requirements, facilitating stakeholder conversations—is not easily replaceable. If Chris comes to me and says I’ve documented everything you do, and we give it all to a machine, I would say good luck. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, it’s worth a shot. Christopher S. Penn: All right. To wrap up, you absolutely should have everything valuable you do with AI living outside any one AI system. If it’s still trapped in your ChatGPT history, today is the day to copy and paste it into a non‑AI system, ideally one that’s shared and backed up. Also, today is the day to explore backup options—look for inference providers that can give you other options for mission‑critical stuff.

This conversation delves into the complexities of land use controls, focusing on the interplay between individual property rights and government regulations. It explores the concept of police power, zoning laws, eminent domain, and regulatory takings, providing a comprehensive overview of how these elements shape property law. The discussion highlights key cases, modern trends, and the implications of government actions on private property rights, ultimately emphasizing the ongoing negotiation between public interest and private ownership.Most property owners don't realize how easily their land can be redefined or taken by the government — and the rules that determine when you get paid are more complex than you think. If you're facing land use restrictions, rezoning, or government seizures, understanding the subtle distinctions could be the difference between compensation and being left empty-handed.In this eye-opening episode, we cut through the legal jargon to reveal how land use law balances individual property rights against the state's police power. You'll discover how the concept of police power grants governments broad authority to regulate land for public health, safety, and welfare — but that power is checked by constitutional limits that can turn a regulation into a costly takings claim.We break down the core frameworks that govern land disputes:Zoning: How local governments draw legal lines that enforce land use categories like residential, commercial, or industrial. You'll learn why courts give zoning laws the rational basis test, often leading to deference but with key exceptions for nonconforming uses, variances, and spot rezoning. Plus, the history behind Euclidean zoning and its modern reforms—mixed use, PUDs, and inclusionary zoning—are explained with practical insights for real-world or exam scenarios.Eminent Domain: Dive into the power that allows governments to seize land for public use, with the landmark Kelo v. New London case illustrating the broad interpretation of public purpose, including economic development. We'll explore what it means to be paid just compensation — mainly fair market value — and the pitfalls involving sentimental value and partial takings.Regulatory Takings: This gray zone is where law fights to define “too far.” Justice Holmes' famous Mahon line sets the stage: regulations that deny all economic value (Lucas) or involve permanent physical invasions (Loretto) trigger per se compensation. You'll learn how courts analyze cases where regulations restrict land use but stop short of total deprivation, using tests like Penn Central balancing factors, and the importance of parcel as a whole (Murr) in valuing property.Advanced Concepts: We discuss the denominator problem—how property boundaries influence claims—and how exactions (like impact fees or land dedication) are scrutinized via Nolan and Dolan tests for nexus and proportionality. Discover the innovative use of transferable development rights that turn regulation into market transactions, offering strategic ways to mitigate takings claims.Recent Developments: The episode closes with compelling cases like Cedar Point Nursery, affirming that even partial physical invasions are takings, and Tyler v. Hennepin, emphasizing that government overreach in foreclosures can cross the line into “home equity theft.”This episode is essential for anyone navigating property disputes, land use planning, or preparing for law exams. Master the step-by-step checklist: from applying the rational basis test in zoning, to spotting per se takings, and balancing analysis in complex regulatory cases. Property law is a battlefield of rights and limits. By understanding where the line is drawn—and when it's crossed—you'll be better equipped to protect your interests or challenge overreach. land use, zoning, eminent domain, regulatory takings, property law, police power, property rights, Euclid v.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the Fifth Amendment, focusing on the due process protections and the takings clause. It explores the historical context of these legal principles, key cases that have shaped their interpretation, and the distinctions between procedural and substantive due process. The discussion delves into regulatory takings, categorical takings, and the Penn Central test, providing insights into how courts analyze these issues. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of temporary takings and exactions, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation and the evolving challenges in environmental law.The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution is a cornerstone of American legal principles, safeguarding individual rights against government overreach. Among its provisions, the Takings Clause stands out as a critical element, ensuring that private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. This blog post explores the intricacies of the Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause, shedding light on their significance and impact on property rights.Understanding the Fifth Amendment: The Fifth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights and provides several protections for individuals, including the right to due process, protection against double jeopardy, and the right against self-incrimination. However, one of its most debated components is the Takings Clause, which addresses the balance between public needs and private property rights.The Takings Clause Explained: The Takings Clause states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." This clause ensures that when the government needs to acquire private property for public purposes, such as building infrastructure or public facilities, it must provide fair compensation to the property owner. The clause raises important questions about what constitutes "public use" and how "just compensation" is determined.Key Court Cases and Interpretations: Over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Takings Clause in various landmark cases. One notable case is Kelo v. City of New London (2005), where the Court ruled that economic development can be considered a public use under the Takings Clause. This decision sparked widespread debate and led to legislative changes in several states to protect property owners.The Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause play a vital role in balancing the interests of the public and private property owners. As legal interpretations evolve, these provisions continue to shape the landscape of property rights in the United States. Understanding their implications is crucial for anyone interested in constitutional law and property rights.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest developments in constitutional law and property rights by subscribing.

Send us a textWhat happens when the government decides it needs your land? Does the Constitution really allow officials to seize your family home, farm, or business property against your will? The answer might disturb you.Attorney Clint Schumacher, a leading eminent domain expert, joins us to unravel the complex world where constitutional rights, property ownership, and government power collide. Schumacher pulls back the curtain on a legal process that affects countless Americans but remains widely misunderstood.We explore the landmark Kelo v. City of New London case that dramatically expanded government's ability to take private property, allowing cities to seize homes for economic development rather than traditional public uses like roads or schools. This controversial Supreme Court decision sparked nationwide outrage and legislative reforms, yet many property owners remain vulnerable.The conversation takes a deeply human turn as Schumacher describes families losing properties held for generations – land that forms part of their identity, not just their assets. We examine the Henry family farm in New Jersey, owned by the same family for 175 years, now threatened by condemnation for affordable housing. This poignant example highlights how even worthy public goals create profound private sacrifices.We also demystify the compensation process, revealing the often significant gap between government appraisals and true property value. Schumacher explains why property owners frequently feel shortchanged even when receiving "just compensation," especially when forced to pay their own legal fees from their settlement amounts.Whether you're a property owner concerned about your rights or simply want to understand this fascinating intersection of law, economics, and human dignity, this episode provides crucial insights into a power that Schumacher calls "a necessary evil." Despite its importance for infrastructure development, nothing government does to innocent citizens feels more invasive than taking their property against their will.Have questions about your legal rights?

Property Law What is Property? Property is a legally protected interest in something tangible or intangible. It can be classified into real property (land and attachments) and personal property (movable items and intangible rights). The Bundle of Rights Theory views property rights as a collection of individual rights, including possessing, using, excluding others from, and transferring ownership. History of Property Law Property law originated from English common law and developed through feudalism, market economies, and American colonial history. The feudal system transitioned into a system of private ownership. In American history, property law played a role in nation-building (Homestead Act of 1862) but was also used to dispossess Native Americans and justify slavery.

Property Law Lecture 2 Ownership, Use, and Transfer of Property Introduction to Ownership and Possession Ownership and possession are fundamental concepts in property law. Ownership refers to the legal right to control, use, and dispose of property. It can be further divided into legal ownership (formal title recognized by law) and equitable ownership (beneficial interest, often arising in trusts). Possession refers to physical control or occupancy of the property. It can be actual (physical occupation) or constructive (control without physical occupation). Possession and ownership are intertwined but distinct. For example, a tenant possesses a rental property but does not own it. Courts may rely on possession as evidence of ownership, especially for lost or abandoned property. The distinction between ownership and possession is crucial in property law and legal doctrines such as adverse possession. Land Use and Zoning Land use regulations balance private property rights with public interests like environmental protection and urban planning. Zoning laws are a primary tool for regulating land use. They divide land into zones (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial) with specific permitted and prohibited activities. Zoning promotes orderly development, protects property values, encourages environmental stewardship, and supports public welfare goals. However, zoning laws can also be controversial. Critics argue that they can perpetuate segregation and restrict affordable housing. Legal challenges often focus on their constitutionality, especially under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Eminent domain is the government's power to take private property for public use with just compensation. The scope of "public use" has been debated, with the Supreme Court expanding it to include economic redevelopment in Kelo v. City of New London (2005). This decision sparked backlash, and many states enacted laws to limit the use of eminent domain for economic purposes. Private Land Use Controls Private agreements, such as easements, covenants, and equitable servitudes, can also control land use. Easements grant one party the right to use another's property for a specific purpose. They can be appurtenant (benefitting a specific parcel of land) or in gross (benefitting an individual or entity). Easements can be created through express agreements, implication, necessity, or prescription. Covenants are contractual agreements between property owners that restrict or mandate certain land uses. Equitable servitudes are similar to covenants but are enforced through equitable remedies. Nuisance law addresses conflicts arising from one property owner's use interfering with another's enjoyment of their property. Transfer of Property Property transfers can be voluntary (e.g., through deeds) or involuntary (e.g., through foreclosure, tax sales, or escheat). Deeds are written documents that transfer ownership of real property. Types of deeds include general warranty deeds (highest level of protection for the buyer), special warranty deeds (limited protection), and quitclaim deeds (no warranties). Involuntary transfers occur due to legal or financial circumstances, such as foreclosure (forced sale to satisfy a debt), tax sales (seizure for unpaid taxes), or escheat (transfer to the state when an owner dies without heirs or a will). Property transfers also involve contracts for sale (outlining terms of the agreement) and escrow arrangements (neutral third party holding funds and documents until conditions are met). Title searches and title insurance protect buyers by verifying ownership and protecting against title defects. Conclusion Understanding property law principles, including ownership, use, and transfer, is crucial for navigating real estate transactions and disputes. These principles balance individual rights with societal interests, shaping land use and property ownership.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the potential reversal of one of the U.S. Supreme Court's worst decisions, the significant increase in U.S. troops in Syria, and the surprising comeback of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner.First , they highlight the Supreme Court's possible reconsideration of its 2005 eminent domain ruling. They analyze why this decision needs to be overturned, considering its negative impact on property rights and legal precedents.First, they're glad to hear that the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to hear a case that could allow the court to reverse its awful 2005 eminent domain ruling. Jim and Greg review just how bad the original decision was and Jim explains that sometimes the court needs to overturn lousy precedents. Next, they cover the Pentagon's recent announcement that U.S. troop numbers in Syria have surged to 2,000.

Summary of Chapter 12: Case Law and Practical Applications. Chapter 12 explores the key principles of property law through landmark cases, real-world case studies, and practical problem-solving exercises. It emphasizes the importance of understanding legal precedents, such as Pierson v Post, Kelo v City of New London, and Shelley v Kraemer, which have shaped modern property law doctrines related to possession, eminent domain, and anti-discrimination in housing. Landmark Cases in Property Law highlight the evolution of legal concepts like ownership, possession, and public use. These foundational rulings offer key takeaways, such as defining what constitutes possession (as in Pierson v Post), broadening the scope of public use for eminent domain (as in Kelo v City of New London), and prohibiting racially restrictive covenants (as in Shelley v Kraemer). These cases serve as crucial reference points for current property disputes and legal reasoning. Practical Application through Case Studies offers a look at common property law disputes and their resolutions. Case studies cover topics such as Residential Lease Disputes, where tenants might contest retaliatory eviction or demand repairs under habitability laws. Adverse Possession Claims discuss how long-term, open use of land can transfer ownership from one party to another. Zoning Challenges explore legal battles between property owners and municipalities over land use regulations, often involving requests for zoning variances. In Hypotheticals and Problem-Solving, the chapter introduces exercises that require drafting legal documents, negotiating property rights, and resolving disputes. For example, exercises in Drafting Lease Agreements focus on including clauses about rent, repairs, security deposits, and tenant rights. Negotiating Easements teaches how to balance landowner and easement-holder interests, while Analyzing Title Issues delves into resolving disputes over unresolved liens or boundary issues. Chapter 12 provides a comprehensive exploration of landmark cases in property law, real-world case studies, and practical exercises that highlight the application of legal principles. Understanding the evolution of property law through significant cases, such as Pierson v Post and Kelo v City of New London, allows legal practitioners to navigate the complexities of modern property disputes. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of practical problem-solving skills in legal practice, from drafting lease agreements to resolving title issues, offering a well-rounded approach to mastering property law. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In 2005, in the case of Kelo v. New London, the Supreme Court allowed officials to seize and raze an entire neighborhood of well-maintained homes and businesses in the hopes that someone else could build fancier homes and businesses. According to the dissenters, the majority's opinion effectively deleted the provision of the U.S. Constitution requiring that takings be for a "public use." On this episode, we ask: what, if anything, is left of the prohibition on using eminent domain to take property from Person A merely to give it to Person B? And we look at some current litigation that can restore traditional limits on the government's power of eminent domain. Click here for transcript. Kelo v. New London Hawai'i Housing Authority v.
