Theft by the city..... period........  of course the city won't pay a fair price........they set the taxes on them through the assessments....and they set the market price through the same......... and those properties that they assessed that they want they kept low. 
The city needs to buck up and compensate them fairly..........commercial property is super expensive in this city and they want to get it at bargain basement prices,,,,,,,, cut footage off of the remaining property which in turn will devalue what's left ......PAY THEM MORE,  DON'T STEAL IT .

The people who voted the thieves in yet again and voted Berkowitz the tax and steal guy in should be banished.
