ParticipantWell, that is a tough one.
Yet, we can all show the San Diego County Board of Supervisors how we feel about it…
VOTE THEM OUT!!! (Except Diane Jacob)
They’ve been holding those offices way too long anyway. Time for some change.
FYI: “Ryan officials declined to comment, but an attorney representing the company argued at the meeting that the county had not met the legal requirements necessary to move ahead with eminent domain.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of how the government, specifically this Board of Supervisors, seems like it can just push everyone around despite the popular or majority vote.
Sounds like this fight isn’t over…
Here is are some links on fighting eminent domain:

Let’s make this a PR nightmare for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors!!
This is an obvious abuse of eminent domain for all to see.
On a side note, either way, homes are still selling up here! For those of you that haven’t come up to Sky Ranch, it’s worth a drive through. Everyone I know that lives up here has been extremely happy, and as far as prices, they have come way down from 3 years ago. It’s about supply and demand, and if there is enough demand for new homes in a unique community, the prices will hold! This is the nicest new development in East County, so I think that will keep the demand high.

Abuse of Power—How the Government Misuses Eminent Domain
Steven Greenhut
Seven Locks Press 2004
http://prfamerica.org/bookreviews/BookReviewAbuseOfPower.html
A quote from Aristotle, “We make war that we may live in peace” introduces the last chapter. Greenhut notes that the first reaction to abuse is despair, but despair should not be allowed to last long. The key to success is to not feel overwhelmed by the powerful forces. Four main approaches that have yielded success are identified.
The first — community organizing,
the second — adopting a legal strategy,
the third — political,
the fourth revolves around the media!Some of the success stories are reviewed in detail, including:
“Illinois Stops One Stop Shopping,”
“California Dreaming,”
“The Constitution State Rediscovers the Constitution,”
“Colorado Supremes Slap Down Wal-Mart,”
“The Way From San Jose,”
“Atlantic City Officials Gambled and Lost.”Much is to be learned from these anecdotes. Greenhut concludes with the “Organizing ABCs” — Build Broad Coalitions, Go On the Offensive, and Be Positive, Not Just Reactive, Know What You Want to Do, Don’t Lose Sight of Principle, Keep It Simple.

No offense, but I think you’re going to be swimming upstream….If in doubt, just ask the folks that bought a home near Palomar Airport.
http://piggington.com/impact_of_palomar_airport_expansion_carlsbad
Anytime you move into a place where there are such “landmarks”, I think the expectation should be that don’t expect things to change. There’s a reason why things those landmarks are there, and why property prices are what they are because of it. If it’s really bothersome, don’t live there just because it’s cheap(er). And if price is all that matters, well then accept that those landmarks are just going to stay there.
