  • Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block

    Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block

    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Inquiry into issues relating to Redfern/Waterloo Chapter 3 Redevelopment of the Block The terms of reference for the Inquiry require the Committee to examine proposals for the future of the Block. The long-term future of the Block and its residents is a complex issue requiring initiatives to address social and economic disadvantage experienced by the local Aboriginal community. These issues will be examined in the second stage of the Inquiry and will be addressed in the Final Report. This chapter focuses on the future of the Block in terms of the redevelopment of housing. The purpose of the Committee’s examination of this issue is not to decide what the future of the Block is to be, as that must be determined by the Aboriginal Housing Company and the Aboriginal community. Rather, the Committee has sought to gather together the range of views expressed by members of the community and local organisations during this Inquiry, in order to explore the issues surrounding the Aboriginal Housing Company’s Pemulwuy Redevelopment Project and the progress of the redevelopment. This chapter commences with a brief history of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern and Waterloo. History of the Block and the Aboriginal community in Redfern 3.1 ‘The Block’ is the colloquial name for a residential block in Redfern bounded by Louis, Vine, Eveleigh and Caroline Streets. The Block is owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company. A map of the local area is set out as Appendix 4. 3.2 Redfern and the Block in particular, is a place of political, spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people in Sydney and also for Aboriginal people throughout New South Wales and Australia.

Ross Institute for Justice June 2007 VICTIMIZING THE VULNERABLE The Demographics of Eminent Domain Abuse by Dick M. Carpenter II, Ph.D. John K. Ross Institute for Justice June 2007 Executive Summary n Kelo v. City of New London—one of the most reviled U.S. Supreme Court decisions in history—the Court upheld the use Iof eminent domain by governments to take someone’s private property and give it to another for private economic development. In a major expansion of eminent domain power, the now-infamous Kelo decision marked the first time the U.S. Supreme Court approved the use of eminent domain for purely private development under the Public Use Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which traditionally had been limited to taking property for unambiguous public uses, such as schools or courthouses. In their dissents, Justices Sandra Day O’Connor for example, by the neighborhood at the center of the and Clarence Thomas not only pilloried the five Kelo case—a working-class area different than those justices in the majority for this expansion of so-called typically envisioned as in need of “renewal.” “public use,” but also predicted dire consequences This research uses census data to test the as a result of the decision: Poor, minority and predictions of Justices O’Connor and Thomas.

  • The Rights Behind Eminent Domain Fights: a Little Property and a Lot of Home

    The Rights Behind Eminent Domain Fights: a Little Property and a Lot of Home

    The Rights behind Eminent Domain Fights: A Little Property and a Lot of Home By Debbie Becher. Forthcoming 2010 in Property Rights and Neo‐liberalism: Cultural Demands and Legal Actions. Editors Wayne McIntosh and Laura Hatcher. Ashgate Press.1 Abstract The Court opinion in Kelo v. City of New London (2005) drew national attention to property rights with what was once a local dispute over government’s use of eminent domain. How do we understand the widespread support for the libertarian agenda that emerged in this case’s aftermath? To answer this question, I present a Philadelphia version of the project behind Kelo and the backlash afterwards. As in Kelo, the condemnations along American Street in Philadelphia galvanized activism that built widespread resistance to government taking of property. The city targeted sixty-eight privately owned properties, of which forty-two were vacant lots and buildings, fourteen were occupied homes, and two were occupied businesses. I offer a history of how these plans to use eminent domain developed, how those plans proceeded, and how stakeholders and the public reacted to them. I find that anti-eminent domain activists converted narrow sympathy with their narrative about a particular event to mobilization around property rights more generally. Yet by conflating home with property while making demands on government, activists also subtly moved the meaning of property rights away from a libertarian agenda of downsized government. I interpret citizen mobilization against eminent domain on American Street as making three different kinds of demands for property and home rights, each moving further away from a neoliberal ideology.

While inevitably undergoing inner-city gentrification, Fitzroy has retained its creative edge thanks to a great mix of art galleries, studios and specialist bookshops. Idiosyncratic bars pop up on Smith Street; Marios, Polyester and Brunswick Street Books still call Brunswick Street home; and Johnson Street continues to flaunt its Spanish heritage, especially during the November Hispanic Fiesta. Meander through menus across Fitzroy's eat streets. It's all ooh-la-la at Brunswick Street's Madame Sousou, Bon Ap' and Shifty Chevre, and Latin lovin' on Johnston Street, where Los Amates has been resident since long before the Mexican wave.
