Isn't the difference in your wordings what the Kelo decision was

Kelo was yet another low point for the Supremes. To add insult to injury
the Fort Trumbull project failed. New London spent millions to buy and
demolish houses so now they just have vacant land. Pfizer moved their
operation to Groton.

Ironically, the new project is not on the land the city took under the
Kelo ruling.
