But remember, it would be a limited number of property owners, that is only those whose property are to be condemned. It is most troubling in the case of those who own homes. At a prior council meeting, Bruno, in response to Mrs. K's plea not to condemn her home, he assured "long-time" APers that they would be protected. However, he went out of his way to say the same protection would not be afforded purchasers who bought in recent years, I asume after the MOU. I guess caveat emptor. What ever happened to equal protection under the law. I'll try to contact the homeowner and their attorney to verify the initial offer. I hear Moliver is doing appraisals on Sewall today.
