This photo taken Nov. 2, 2009 shows Atlantic Yards, bottom center, in Brooklyn, N.Y. In a 6-1 ruling Tuesday Nov. 24, 2009 New York's top court says the state can use eminent domain to force homeowners and businesses to sell their properties for a massive development in Brooklyn that includes a new arena for the New Jersey Nets. A group of tenants and owners claim the seizure is unconstitutional. They say developer Bruce Ratner's proposed $4.9 billion, 22-acre Atlantic Yards project mainly enriches private interests, while the state constitution requires public use for taking land.
