Trump once tried to force old woman into selling him her house (WaPo)

In order to use it as a garage for limousines going into his casino.

The new devastating story is now in the Washington Post. Here is a paragraph:

Demolition crews had set fire to her roof, broken windows and smashed up much of the third floor, according to her attorneys. Still, she didn’t move."

I know the "highest and best use argument" but what is "best use" about a casino which rapes the neighborhood and eventually goes bankrupt?
