What could be more liberal in the current sense of the term than using eminent domain to expropriate a 175-year-old farm so as to convert it into a slum?

Via AG Web:

For three decades, Andy Henry has declined $20-30 million offers for his 21-acre, 175-year-old farm. …

On South River Road, in Middlesex County, N.J., warehouses and industrial buildings have replaced the once abundant farms of yesteryear—except a lone holdout.

Henry has good reason to hang on to the farm:

“In 1936, my grandfather died, leaving my grandmother and mother to run the farm. It was struggle after struggle, but they held on to the land, and again survived, leaving something for the next generation.”

Whether the farm can survive Big Government is the question.

“Keeping this legacy intact and passing it to the next generation has been, and is always, our plan.”

Cranbury Township Committee also has a plan: Cover Henry’s farm with housing units.

That is, affordable housing units, a.k.a. slum. If Henry doesn’t sell the farm, bureauweenies say they will confiscate it. Another small piece of America will die.
