If you think your property’s protected, think again. Legal and regulatory policy analyst, Daren Bakst, in the Fayetteville Observer, gleans from NC statutes as a source for potential property right infringement the state’s Urban Redevelopment Law.  Following a Supreme Court decision, private property appears to be in the hands of planning boards and commissions.  Because of this, Daren recommends a state constitutional amendment, a point he stressed at last week’s Conservative Leadership Conference. Live bloggers and journalists captured the spirit of the talk on the ether of online data.  Local government soothsayers seem to know exactly when to build and when not to build.  Eminent Domain and Urban Redevelopment Laws are the tools used to act on the former, and impact fees are a way to encourage the latter.  Michael Sanera, in a presentation to the Raleigh Young Republicans, described the nature of impact fees, and the danger of imposing them based on flawed studies – as Raleigh seems poised to do.
