At a Garden Grove City Council meeting, residents carried signs that read "Save Our Homes," "Don't Steal Our American Dream" and "No Eminent Domain." They asked the council to vote down a proposal to add 195 acres to the redevelopment zone."The area [...] encompasses 500 single-family homes, 300 mobile homes, 120 apartment units and 30 businesses. If a developer wants to build hotels, restaurants or a theme park, those residents could be forced out.""City officials want to boost tax revenue in the city by cashing in on neighboring Disneyland in Anaheim and on Anaheim's other tourist attractions."
