Right now... Bogus Blight Study by City Hall driving the Eminent Domain train that will adversely impact about 1,000 homeowners, renters and small businesses in Lakewood's West End. If successful, the City would convey properties to developers for an upscale condo-retail development -- story broadcast by CBS 60 Minutes on 9/28/03 -- NBC Nightly News Fleecing of America also examined West End controversy -- more info on lakewoodbuzz.com -- Lakewood is the first suburb west of Cleveland, Oh.

Lakewood neighborhoods need a mobilization to protect their homes and small businesses. The Institute for Justice in Washington D.C. is now providing pro bono legal help to West End homeowners, but increasingly large sums of money, pro-developer law firms, PR machine and political influence are being drawn to Lakewood to see that Eminent Domain succeeds and homes are taken.
