It's not London, it's NEW London
As near as I can tell, this Supreme Court decision is horrendous. Here are two paragraphs that capture it pretty well...
The New London neighborhood that will be swept away includes Victorian-era houses and small businesses that in some instances have been owned by several generations of families. Among the New London residents in the case is a couple in their 80s who have lived in the same home for more than 50 years.
City officials envision a commercial development that would attract tourists to the Thames riverfront, complementing an adjoining Pfizer Corp. research center and a proposed Coast Guard museum.
Yes, yes let's tear down Victorian-era homes so that we can "complement" a Pfizer research center, among other amentiies. I guess the ICC is going to happen now.
