Let’s Souter some people

Last week a new American hero, Logan Clements CEO of Freestar Media, started proceedings that will turn Justice David Souter’s home into a shopping mall. This is possible because of Souter’s vote on the Kelo emminent domain case. I like Clements way of dealing with a Supreme Court Justice. Give Souter a taste of his own medicine.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is considering putting homeless housing on a City owned park on Henry Street. The neighborhood is “good” by any definition, part of the Castro District. The homes are well kept, see photo on the right, and the owners are most likely citizens who have been productive members of society for most of their lives.

Let’s apply the Logan Clements medicine to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. We buy property adjacent to the supervisor’s homes (if they voted for the Henry Street measure) and dedicate the property only to homeless housing. When the supervisor is a renter, the house to be purchased and dedicated is adjacent to the supervisor’s parent, siblings or closest friends and donors.

I know that elected officials and judges often have to make difficult decisions, but there is no reason they should personally be able to escape the harm they wreak.
