Appellants are former tenants of the Shady Grove Apartments ("Apartments") in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The DDA is a governmental entity created by the Florida legislature to eliminate slums and blight in the downtown area of Fort Lauderdale. In April, 1984, the DDA purchased the Apartments to further development of a performing arts center and retained the former owners, Gonzalez and Rodgers, as managing agents. Appellants claim that the acquisition was not preceded or accompanied by a public hearing or any assurance that residents displaced by the development would have access to adequate alternative accommodations.
