Following the death of his grandfather in 1983, Clarence inherited a partial stake in a single story house in Savannah and two empty lots on the same block. Dallas billionaire, Harlan Crow, paid Clarence, his mom, and family of his late brother $133,363 for the house and lots in 2014.

Crow still owns Thomas' mother's home, which the now-94-year-old continued to live in through at least 2020, according to public records and social media. Two neighbors told ProPublica she still lives there.

---

It is unclear if Crow is Clarence's mom's landlord or if she lives there rent free.

Quote:

---

Crow did not respond to questions about whether he has charged her rent.

We're going to take a deep dive into all the justices now, right?

Or just the black ones?

Ok?

Who gives a *****

People can give or rent their houses to whomever they want to.

More Propublica crap.

OP must have gotten the latest blast.

This is the kind of hard hitting journalism you would expect from todays media. Good job OP.

Let us know when its actually clear

Speaking of rent free.

Dammit, got beat to the punch on the softball.

You act like reverse mortgage is a new thing...

I know on more than one occasion where someone bought a porperty from an elderly person and allowed them to stay in it at a reduced rental rate until they pass.

Probably a life estate granted to the mom. Seller grants the ownership of the property, but retains a life estate, meaning she can occupy until she dies.

Give it a rest man. We know you hate Thomas but he isn't going anywhere until he passes or decides to retire.

Crazy how a conservative black justice still causes libs to lose their minds.

I mean, is this bad?

Crow's purchases seem to have played a role in transforming the block. The billionaire eventually sold most of the other properties he bought to new owners who built upscale modern homes, including the two vacant lots he purchased from Thomas.

Crow also bought the house immediately next door to Thomas' mother, which was owned by somebody else and had been known for parties and noise, according to property records and W. John Mitchell, former president of a nearby neighborhood association. Soon the house was torn down. "It was an eyesore," Mitchell said. "One day miraculously all of them were put out of there and they scraped it off the earth."

"The surrounding properties had fallen into disrepair and needed to be demolished for health and safety reasons," Crow said in his statement. He added that his company built one new house on the block "and made it available to a local police officer."

Today, the block is composed of a dwindling number of longtime elderly homeowners and a growing population of young newcomers. The vacant lots that the Thomas family once owned have been replaced by pristine two-story homes. An artisanal coffee shop and a Mediterranean bistro are within walking distance. Down the street, a multicolored pride flag blows in the wind.

Wait what does Thomas think about Kelo:
https://reason.com/2021/07/02/thomas-and-gorsuch-say-kelo-eminent-domain-ruling-was-wrong-the-day-it-was-decided-and-remains-wrong-today/

Quote:

---

Thomas, joined by Gorsuch, came out swinging against the Kelo perversity again today. "The Constitution's text, the common-law background, and the early practice of eminent domain all indicate 'that the Takings Clause authorizes the taking of property only if the public has a right to it, not if the public realizes any conceivable benefit from the taking,'" Thomas wrote. "The majority in Kelo strayed from the Constitution to diminish the right to be free from private takings."

---

So cool. He's right about eminent domain

This is common in historic areas. Investors buy a house and give the current owner a life estate to live there until they chose not to live there any longer or die. Usually, it is such a good deal that you are willing to carry the home until you get full posession.

I love this kind of investigative reporting but I really DGAS unless it's going to be done for all the SC justices.

Oh no!




Anyway ...

Clarify....the black conservative one.

As said above, my first thought was that the mother retained a life estate, which is not unusual at all. Plus, in community property states the surviving spouse automatically receives a life estate in their homestead when their spouse dies if the decedent's interest is inherited in whole or in party by someone other than the surviving spouse. Also, if the interest in the house was sold by the deceased father's estate before distribution to Justice Thomas or the others, he didn't actually own an interest in the property. He was just a beneficiary of an estate that owned and sold an interest in the property.

We do it all the time

Didn't OP try this last week with another Thomas thread? This one is already on the same track as that one.

can you imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to completely overlook and dismiss all liberals breaking laws and come in with this as the Got em for thomas.

it's embarrassing

Hunter Biden flew Air Force One yesterday and is staying at taxpayer expense on his vacation. Look into that.

They only post this weak trash so when its hypocrisy is called out they can screech, "whataboutism"

Boy the left is really coming after that "Uncle Tom." It's very shameful and disgraceful. It's also hypocritical. If the right came after the wise latina the cries of racism would be deafening.

Ha, Hunter Biden can do no wrong in the OP's eyes. People like him only care about a persons politics. Right and wrong is irrelevant.

Which one are you more concerned about???

I [heart] Justice Thomas

So what litigation has Crow had go to the Supreme Court that he needed to buy off Thomas?

There must be multiple examples.
