Shut Em Down

If you've ever been to Shea Stadium you know that beyond the outfield, beyond the parking is a row of auto body shops. On that street (126th St.) and the surrounding area, Williets Point, nicknamed the Iron Triangle, are 225 auto shops and junkyards. I have no idea how they all stay in business.
The area is a complete mess and with CitiField moving in starting in 2009, the Mets don't want their pristine new stadium sullied by these grease monkeys.
Plus they want to add shops, restaurants, apartments and offices where those dirty body shops now stand. In fact, before any of this construction can happen the area will have to be cleansed of the oil and gasoline that have been spilled for years.
As you would expect, some of these guys are raising a stink about giving their disgusting, unprofitable business up to eminent domain. The city has promised to pay these guys, and help them find new locations for their businesses or new jobs.
I know eminent domain gets a bad rap, but it's actually a good thing when used correctly, as in this case.
This is what living in a society is all about. People sacrificing for the greater good. All Mets fans would like to have a nice place to meet and eat and drink before a game. Imagine an apartment with a Citi(Field) view.
And in general the place is an eyesore and since the new stadium will be even closer to 126th Street, I don't want to pay $55 for an upper deck seat to stare at some 1975 Dodge Dart that's up on block in Jesus's Auto Repair.
