The Hyatts and Hiltons of the world have enough dough to beat back any attempts like this to “civil forfeit” their properties — and so municipalities don’t even try. A small private operation? Not so much.
I wonder if there was somebody they forgot to pay off.
If they’d had a million dollar mortgage, I bet this would not have happened. But they thought this was the United States.
