TREND. Local Government declares property nuisance. Is it a taking? Texas Edition.

Where: Dallas

What: a carwash on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in South Dallas

What action did the city take? city’s zoning board of adjustment determined the property was a nuisance which caused the business to cease operations

Why does this matter: 2019 eminent domain bill concerned compensation and if this local government action is a taking it adds to the stack of compensation policy issues
