Real Property Condemnation

In California we just recently voted on the issue of condemnation by the government of citizens property. In Los Angeles in 2007 there was legal action concerning the Los Angeles School District condemning property for school construction. One such case was Los Angeles Unified School District v. Gonzalez. Docket #BC345668. Plaintiff LAUSD attempted to condemn the property located at 1007 North Alvarado Street to construct the Central Region Elementary School #14. The defendant was Rosa Gonzalez and her Mexican restaurant called LaFonda De Villa Mexican Restaurant among others. As usual in a condemnation there were lien holders and trustees and many other parties that had their hand out for a piece of the money.

The aforementioned is not unusual in a condemnation proceeding. After each side presented their case to one another all parties agreed to settle for $1,115,000.00.
