Following months of increasingly contentious head-butting, officials in the mountain town of Vail, Colorado, are moving to seize a property from a local ski resort to prevent it from constructing new housing for its employees.

The property in question is a 5-acre site abutting a frontage road in the eastern part of the 5,600-person ski town. After nearly five years of rezonings, planning, permitting, and litigation, ski resort operator Vail Resorts is ready to move ahead with the $17 million Booth Heights project that would create 165 beds for its work force.

Standing in their way is the town of Vail itself, which filed a petition in Eagle County District Court on Friday to invoke its eminent domain powers to seize the Booth Heights site and hold it as open space, Vail Daily first reported.

That said Vail Resorts is deep into dem causes so "let them fight".
 
Well you know, Vail is kind of exclusive. Can't be building shelter for the Hoi Polloi there. :nono:
 
Eminent domain is one of the most fucked up concepts ever imagined.

You want the land? Pony up and pay for it...
