The original fuck-up was that the City should have required a Unity of Title when the house was permitted over two lots. That way it could not be subdivided again without proper procedure. Without that, the property was improperly split.

Furthermore, the bank should have known better than splitting the property for resale. They were just trying to maximize the money they could recoup. In a just work, they would be sued into oblivion.

Having said that, the Government can only protect you from so much. Neither one of these owners should have bought either one of these properties with such obvious title flaws. They both deserve the pain they are experiencing for being dumb buyers.

They tore down my beautiful cedar privacy fence (200 ft worth) on the front side of our farm, the day after it was finished, and then put a rusty sheet metal wall in its place that went right down the middle of our driveway. We had put our fence on the surveyed and 100 year traditional boundary (we owned the original property). Asshole judges sided with them, despite our surveyor's and neighbors' testimonies, and established boundary law.

8 years in court.......
