Mayor Pringle Authors "Development Without Eminent Domain" Report

Steve Greenhut reports over at Orange Punch that Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle has authored a study released by the Castle Coalition entitled "Development Without Eminent Domain: Foundation of Freedom Inspires Economic Growth."

According to the Castle Coalition press release:

Pringle’s report explains how Anaheim’s leadership brought economic vibrancy to their city without resorting to any takings of private property.  It also explores the successes and failures of other cities around the nation in economic redevelopment.

I may be on the opposite side of the Disney/Suncal issue from Mayor Pringle, but there's no denying he has been a terrific mayor and will leave Anaheim a different and better city than it was prior to his election (and as the report note, that success has been largely a coalition effort of former Councilmen Tom Tait and Richard Chavez and current Councilwoman Lorri Galloway).

The press release continues:

Pringle stated in the report, “If local officials regularly made zoning requirements more flexible and acknowledged market principles, new projects could move forward without taking away rights from existing landowners.”

Amen.

[Anaheim H.O.M.E.]

Mayor Pringle has a big mouth and forked tongue. When it comes down to action, he will screw property owners, ask SunCal.
