Video Of Columbia Blight Case Oral Arguments (NY Court Of Appeals)

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

Missed our live blog of the the New York Court of appeals oral arguments in Kaur v. New York State Urban Development Corp. the case in which the Appellate Division struck down an attempt to take property north of Columbia University in New York City because of the record reflected overwhelming private benefit and lack of "blight?"

Well, you're in luck -- the court has archived the video.

Launch the live blog and start the video at the same time and you can follow along with Timothy Sandefur, Mark Murakami, and me as we provide commentary.

To launch the video in a separate window, go here.

Norman Oder has posted an excellent summary of the arguments on Atlantic Yards Report. Worth reading, especially as you follow along with the video.
