Susette Kelo and several other homeowners in a working-class neighborhood in New London, Connecticut, filed suit after city officials announced plans to raze their homes for a riverfront hotel, health club and offices.

You're such a hypocrite - without this decision, there wouldn't BE any golf courses! Just residential development after residential development, as far as the eye can see. And out in the country, family farmers greedily hoard their fields and pastures... Why, the only golf courses would be in international waters!

And nobody likes a soggy sand trap.

We can build them!
