After Kelo, what takings would still be outside the scope of public use?
Consider the following scenario: Citizen A owns a large home in San Mateo County, California, on the ocean south of San Francisco, in which has lived for 15 years.
San Mateo County proposes to condemn A's home and transfer it to Citizen B for the purpose of operating a restaurant and small hotel, both open to the public
Does the taking viloate the Fifth Amendment?
Does the following excerpt from justice Steven’s opinion help?
“ It is further argued that without a bright-line rule nothing would stop a city from transferring citizen A's property to citizen B for the sole reason that citizen B will put the property to a more productive use and thus pay more taxes. Such a one-to-one transfer of property, executed outside the confines of an integrated development plan, is not presented in this case. While such an unusual exercise of government power would certainly raise a suspicion that a private purpose was afoot,17 the hypothetical cases posited by petitioners can be confronted if and when they arise.18 They do not warrant the crafting of an artificial restriction on the concept of public use”

how would you distinguish the citizen A hypothetical from kelo?

The city of Laurelville recently opened a private parking lot in its downtown area for the benefit of city residents. A guard has been hired to patrol the lot and to issue numbered parking stickers to residents submitting an application form and showing evidence of residency. Once a resident has a sticker, they may park in the lot for 12 hours for $1. The guard inspects for stickers on all parked cars, as well as the meter time gauges to see that all fees have been paid. The complete application forms are maintained in the guard's office.

By using a master key, the guard takes coins from the meters weekly and places them in a locked collection box. The guard delivers the box to the city storage department, where a clerk opens it, manually counts the coins, puts the cash in a safe, and records the total on a weekly cash report. This report is sent to the city's accounting department. The day following the cash count, the city treasure's office picks up the cash and manually recounts it, prepares a deposit slip, and makes the deposit at the bank. The deposit slip, authenticated by a bank teller, is sent to the accounting department, where it is filed with the corresponding cash report.

Required: Decribe weaknesses in this system and recommend improvements to strengthen the control procedures.
