Of Kelo and Compromise

I continue to be amused by the nothing that has so far happened since New London prevailed in the Supreme Court last term in its attempt to take property belonging to certain homeowners.

At any rate, via Ben Barros I see that the mayor of New London has proposed a compromise (the city will rent out the houses to Kelo et. al., but allow them to stay living there). So far, there appears to be little interest in this offer, which is intriguing. Given that the city legally owns the property now, it shows quite a bit of faith that the NLDC will continue to find itself unable to displace them.
