Court of Appeals of New York
Goldstein v. N.Y. State Urban Dev. Corp., 178
In a state constitutional challenge to an eminent domain proceeding, judgment for respondent is affirmed where: 1) it was indisputable that the removal of urban blight is a proper, and, indeed, constitutionally sanctioned, predicate for the exercise of the power of eminent domain and 2) the creation of low income housing was not constitutionally required under article XVIII of the New York constitution as an element of a land use improvement project that did not entail substantial slum clearance.
