Here's another report from the field by Libertarian correspondent Mike Sylvester:
The city of Fort Wayne has announced a new potential site for a hotel; it will most likely be built where Cindy's Diner is currently located. The city originally wanted to build this hotel on the Belmont Beverage property that it seized by eminent domain a couple of years ago. Two years later, officials have changed their minds. They do not currently know what they are going to use the Belmont property for.
Did you know that the hotel occupancy rate in Fort Wayne is 49.9 percent?
I have two questions for the people of Fort Wayne:
1. Do you think city officials were justified when they seized private property with eminent domain to build a hotel that they changed their minds about two years later?
2. Do you think we need another hotel in Fort Wayne?
