Kibera, Kenya… eminent domain… Obama's homelessness prevention… doesn't anybody get the connection?

Nobody knows what the "homelessness prevention" program is. We just know that our city has received billions of dollars from Obama’s trillion dollar stimulus to fund it.

The Kibera project involves moving the poor into public housing and DEMOLISHING THEIR HOMES.

The excuse given is that their homes are "shabby" construction, "shacks," a "public hazard," and so on.

Oh, my house doesn’t conform to the latest trends in interior decorating. Is it "shabby?" And somebody on a bicycle might crash into my mailbox and get hurt. Is my home a "public hazard?"

Does any of this remind you of the "eminent domain" controversy over "shabby" houses, which went to the Supreme Court before common sense prevailed?

Is Obama using homelessness to renew the eminent domain land grab attempt that was made by the ultra wealthy?
Kami, I re-posted it for your benefit, because you answered before I filled in the details.

I respected you because yours was the only answer that didn’t outright bash me.

Now you’ve done it, too.

How do you feel about Mexico and Canada building a road over the United States?
