Maybe he should be used as an example, hence the sign.

Instead everyone is critiquing him instead of just reading the message.

Critiquing him is the example.

Fight instead of crossing your arms saying “my way or no” when you don’t hold all the cards.

This really sounds like extremely poor future proofing in his property.

Again, I’ll say it slowly……….I…………never……………..said……………..I ……………..agree……………..with…………………..the………………..decision. In fact, the Kelo decision was horrible. But this was precedent way before Kelo.

That being said, to question the USSC, just study for the LSAT, do well, get accepted to law school, graduate, pass the bar, begin working in constitutional law and get hired by a firm that does USSC cases on takings. Maybe your arguments will change their mind when you get to argue in Washington. Or you could try to get elected to Congress to pass a bill to forbid such takings. Good luck!

Friend you need to put down the bong or whatever it is you are using. I’m not arguing with such unintelligible rantings as yours any longer. You should slow down and think before commenting on things, seriously.

I think the only thing is that his driveway is pretty screwed up. But I’m not sure of the backstory. I hv seen the sign

Enquist offered him way over market price for the house and a free house in Americana but the owner didn't accept.

Seems like every new bit of info has been countered, but if this is true he is a knucklehead at the very least.

Holding out in the middle of a development (or across the street from it in this case) is stupid unless you want to live in the middle or across the street from it.

Imminent Domain put a road through our family property. We didn't sell first but once everyone else started to we sold (above marketbut not triple) before they went a different route. (Our land was the largest/middle piece and the smaller/side pieces sold). Multiple family members owned homes and land all along the side of the new road now. They all sold because the property was not secluded and provate like it used to be. Yes you get fricked but who wants to live in the middle of a commercial corridor?

It was a bad situation. He built the house around 2005 when there was nothing in the area. Enquist purchased the americana property not long after maybe 2009ish. DOTD wanted the round about to be located right ontop of his house but he wouldn't work with state. Then Enquist offered him a double cost price point. Ultimately the round about was offset to the south to miss his house because he wouldn't budge. Last minute before construction started I've heard Enquist offered him a house in the development...to no avail. He started blaming the City of Zachary and went on a personal vendetta against major and city council. Ultimately being served a restraining order. The sign was originally very personal and listed mayors name and city councilmen's names with warning. He ultimately removed that sign and installed the one that's up today. Its just a bad situation and I understand his frustration, but he could have taken the buyout or owned one of the houses in the development....which today would have been worth his original asking price of $600-750K. Just let the man live out his life. If you ever run into him definitely don't ask him about the sign....you'll lose 2 hours of your life.

Typical Louisiana to have any vision whatsoever in planning with halfass developments
