Walmart vs. the Wilderness goes to the next round Date published: 5/4/2010
ALL THE DIVERSE opponents of The chances of the preservationists' ultimate success are anyone's guess; ours is that Orange supervisors and Walmart will prevail. There is no law against public officials making myopic decisions or against grand gaucherie by corporations. Property rights, however, are constitutionally guaranteed. If Orange's political leaders--representatives of the people--made technical errors, they are probably easily correctable. Walmart's business plan--essentially the script from "It Conquered the World"--doesn't include scenes of defeat. Nobody is going to wear out Bentonville with litigation. To be sure, a triumph for the tag team of provincialism and corporate power-lust would be a defeat for America. But it shapes up to be lawful and democratic--making it a self-defeat.
that walmart is turning into a grocery store?
and understand that business is what makes our society great then we wouldn't continue to argue about where Walmart buys property and then gets hassled when they want to build on it.
When you figure out a model for society that preserves every scrap of land where business is ALLOWED to build blah blah blah.
When a company complies with existing law don't f with their plans once you take their money.
This editorial states: "... a triumph for the tag team of provincialism and corporate power-lust would be a defeat for America. But it shapes up to be lawful and democratic--making it a self-defeat."
Does anyone understand what that means?
You have to have a Walmart at a minimum of 2 every 5miles. I DO look forward to reading all the crime reports once its finished. Should prove interesting........
1. I have never heard anyone who protests Walmart at the proposed location say they were against Walmart being in OC. They just want it to be in another location, away from the battlefield.
2. The lawsuit is being litigated pro bono by a prestigious DC firm in the belief that it has merit and can be won.
3. The plaintiffs are not "outsiders." All live close enough to the proposed Walmart site that Judge Bouton says they have standing to sue. Read his recent decision.
