Arghhhh. I agree with the basic idea that local officials, not federal judges, hold the authority to decide what is best for a community. But I disagree entirely that a mall, office complex, hotel, or health club are "public use". These are private developers who've convinced a local goverment to raze some peoples homes for their own gain. So basically, the government of New London can force you to move not just for a highway or a school, but for any reason they want to. Ugly.
