(5,420 posts)If the house is owned by the city, that would mean they took it for delinquent taxes. What is happening in our country today is not what we would consider the norm. Special policies should have protected the American people from disaster. The city should have worked out something with the owners. If that failed on all fronts, then the house should have been repaired, rented or sold, rather than to sit there empty slapping the homeowners in the face.
As it stood it was probably technically unlivable if repairs had to be made. It was probably a blighted property, an eyesore, and would eventually have rotted until it was condemned and torn down at the taxpayer's expense.
You can bet your ass if it had any real value, the bank would have bought it at auction.
New rules should have been made to prevent the decline of the citizens, and then the country, rather than helping the corporations that caused the whole thing.
fuck the banksters and the roaches they rode in on. (with the banksters you may include the govt. entities that they bought)
