In reply to the discussion: Stan Kroenke tells hundreds of fixed income residents in Texas to get off his newly-bought land [View all]7wo7rees
(5,128 posts)31. 6 months notice.
The ranch and family that owned it was something from the past. As noted up thread spanned 5 counties and in existence as long as "Texas".
The people with homes on this leased land deserved more respect. I am quite sure this is nothing the families that sold would have ever wanted to see happen. It is something that should have been taken care of in the sale.
The ranch and the family that owned has a fascinating history.

No, it's moronic to sink your life saving into building a house on land you don't own.

Eminent domain stipulates that you're compensated with fair market value for the land & structures

the more popular sentiment being rationalized is simply screw the idiots who built on the land

Capitalist pigs like Kroenke can go fuck themselves, and fuck their "property".

He will probably develop it into hotels and strip malls or some way for him to make money.

A better way would have been for Krinkle-Krisp to purchase development rights...

Don't see how that would apply since Kroenke just bought the property in February.
