Here’s what we’re reading today:
- Aina Lea regulatory takings case dismissed for lack of standing. State of Hawaii’s press release here.
- It’s the constitution…it’s Mabo. It’s justice. It’s law. It’s the vibe. “How the Mabo decision changed Australia 30 years on” “On June 3, 1992, after years of legal struggle, the High Court of Australia handed down its decision, overturning the centuries-old legal fiction of ‘terra nullius’.”
- “Indiana Supreme Court hears arguments in Gary restaurant eminent domain case” (referring to this case).
- A celebration at New York’s (former) Seneca Village. NYT: “New Yorkers Honor a Thriving Black Village Displaced by Central Park” (we visited the site a few years ago)
- Speaking of New York City, here’s “This Is Why Your Holiday Travel Is Awful” from Politico, about the “sordid history of New York’s Penn Station.” Any mention of the takings case about the other big NYC transit hub, Grand Central (owned by Penn Central)? Nope.
