Declaration of public policy.

Inclusion within area of certain properties which are not substandard does not constitute unreasonable or arbitrary action because it is condition obtaining as to entire area and not as to individual properties which is determinative; addition of word “deteriorating” indicates legislative intent that section is to be liberally construed. 147 C. 321. In determination whether property which is not substandard is essential to plan of redevelopment, condition obtaining as to entire area and not as to individual properties is determinative; condition of plaintiffs' buildings and use to which they are devoted have significance on question whether they could not be successfully integrated into overall plan for area in order to achieve its objective; if they could not be, then acquisition of property was essential to complete an adequate unit of development, even though the property was not, in itself, substandard. 150 C. 42. Cited. 162 C. 531. Authority and obligations under Redevelopment Act discussed. 51 CA 262.
