City of Chicago Tells Org to Either Get it Together or Sell Your Building

From ESMB: http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthre...-Either-Get-it-Together-or-Sell-Your-Building

GOOD.

heh heh

Not sure if this is a fire code violation or not, but that fire water inlet is normally supposed to be covered. So idiots can't do stupid things like shove empty cans / bottles / garbage inside, which would block the fire water inlet in case of fire.

That would be the org opening in the summer of 2008, right?

it's.... it's.... BEAUTIFUL

Bu...Bu...But... How can this be?
They are #1 in fundraising?


Hip Hip Pooray!

Gawd. WHEN WILL THESE PEOPLE GET A CLUE??? Even if you think the stupid tech works, spend your money on getting up the bridge and getting those damn pesky Body Thetans off of you. STOP GIVING MONEY TO THE IAS YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!!

If I was a kool-aid drinker, I would not be able to STAND the thought of having those BTs hanging off me. It'd be like leaving ticks on me after a walk in the woods. Yuck.

Hmmm.... interesting "recommendation" link off to the right... isn't this entheta? Is this where they get their news? They have to go to RUSSIA to get news about the US????

Yup - Someone doesn't know how to block the entheta:

again, why haven't authorities caught up to this fraud yet? 50 freakin' years!
Many people have been busted for a lot less

"Authorities" aren't going to touch this with a ten foot pole. Yes, they should, and yes, many people have been busted for a lot less. And other countries aren't afraid to take on CoS. But in the US??? Never gonna happen unless there is a groundswell of pubic outrage.

R

And yes, I saw the typo and decided not to correct it cause it made me laugh. I meant PUBLIC outrage. Of the negative kind.

1. Cover self in Vaseline & pubes
2. ??? in local Scilon org
3. Profit / go to jail

The branch of government of which the scam is a covert part would have to be brought down, and that'll happen right after Marion Barry is elected president.

Dox or GTFO.

That is the only place to get ALL news in USA. Try it for a day and you will agree.

Chicago is a joke. All of Europe and Texas laughs at Chi-Town.

Motor City can't even remove a dead cult.

LOLZ

Similar situation in Boston, though the city hasn't cracked down that hard yet. I believe that part of the property had to be torn down due to bricks falling on pedestrians, but that wasn't the part Scn is "planning" to use.

Why? Detroit is in ruins...and Chicago....

Oh WOW! Chi-Anons, you ROCK! Congratulations!!

The Printers Row area has been an area of interest for complete community rehabilitation and rebuilding by the City for a very long time. Lots of realtors have their eyes on it for cheap deals, i.e., here is a high-priced knockdown/rebuild:

Abandoned buildings get knocked down and owners lose them. Oh please, LET IT BE SO!!

So Chicago's corrupt politicians FINALLY have an eye on it - lol lol lol!

It will never, ever open. Need popcorn for this one - there will be ENDLESS requirements that COS can NEVER fulfill, red tape galore - they'll be screaming in frustration as they pump endless dollars into rehab that will never be accepted until they finally let the City have the blg.

Lovin' it!

It appears demolishing abandoned buildings is part of the Mayor's current plan to fight crime:

Basic info on Eminent Domain and how it may apply:

Valid Public Use

• Eminent domain demands that the government demonstrate a valid public reason for taking the property. However, in most states, eminent domain case law has placed very few limits on what constitutes a valid public use. Recently, in the case of Kelo v. New London (2005), a city wanted to take private property to make the property conform with a broad plan for economic redevelopment. The U.S. Supreme Court declared that "valid public use" even includes seizure of property to economically redevelop the property. However, should a property owner believe that the government is taking his property for an invalid use, he has a right to challenge the use in court.

Just Compensation

• The "just compensation" required by the Fifth Amendment demands that the government pay the private property owner fair market value for his property. Typically, if the government and property owner disagree on the value, they can negotiate a price or ask the court to set a fair value. Just compensation may cover more than the retail value of the property. Particularly in the case of a business operating on eminent domain property, the government may also need to pay for the loss of value to the business in losing its character.

Motor City is Detroit, or was.

Motor city is dead. So sad, but true. There is no "city" only abandoned buildings and a struggling few that live there. Power, Corruption and Lies...

It's become eerily reminiscent of the "Twentieth Century Motor Co." from Atlas Shrugged, at this point. (Not that that means anything... just saying.)

So... how long before it "accidentally" catches on fire and burns to the ground?????? Anyone taking bets?

Bring out the cows and lanterns!

Depends if it's insured. If so, there's gotta be boxes and boxes of leftover full sets of Hub drivel that could be used as kindling.

Free the slaves. Burn all those auditing files.

In RoboCop, it was mainly Toronto.

::stunned:: Never met anyone before who'd actually read that book that wasn't barking mad.

It was a long slog, but (mostly) interesting.

also cars which were poor quality and overpriced compared to the asian competition.

There was supposed to have been some sort of hearing about Chicago's Ideal Org building. Last I heard, it was something to do with them not having completed renovations yet. Probably the city getting annoyed with them again.

Someone guessed that the Chicago CoS would probably do just enough to keep out of serious trouble going forward, which sounds pretty plausible to me.

It's that damned WOG justice again!
