        lol who didn't see that coming?

        Him, presumably.

        Frankly, men just aren't biologically cut out for diversity tasks.

                    I announced that on the weekly wrap up video but I can't post it as I'm on AT&T xFinity and it can't handle uploads.

                        While I love the premise of sticking it to rich folk, this kind of stuff is why I hate local government. Those who can, do. Those who can't, govern?

                        Certainly some type of notice had to have been given to someone. Why am I so intrigued by this? lol

                          What, you think the people in the houses actually own the land? I can almost guarantee that they've all purchased a piece of property that is land use and not ownership. Otherwise, government couldn't tax it.

                            @travisdh1 The idea that a tax lexy of a few hundred dollars could go unnoticed and result in this means no one tried to contact said residents.

                            Then again, as wealthy people are generally even more stingy, they likely would have fought the $300 fee in court.

                              Residents didn't own the street as it was, so they were not the ones to be contacted. The HOA that owned the street didn't update their tax records and had the tax info sent to their old address without forwarding.

                                It was, they send the tax statements regularly. They have records of it. That the place that they sent it to had been abandoned was the HOA's problem.

                                  HOA owned it. HOA was incompetent.

                                            I always wondered about fruitcake. What is it really made of? Antifreeze?
