The satellite image and the street view image were taken at different times.
If the satellite image is older, then the house and landscaping were put in later. A lot of time would have to pass for the house to age so much and the landscaping to grow so much.
It says the house which was there when Katrina hit was demolished, and she was building a new one. I think the house in the street view was the original house. The satellite image shows the foundation for the new house.
There may have been a good reason to demolish the house, but not without due process. If it really was a blight, and the owner was not addressing the problem satisfactorily, a court would be the proper place to resolve it. The opinion of little dictators should not be sufficient for leveling someone’s house.
It must be since it was a finished house not one under construction and one story not three. That makes the Google street view over 8 yrs old. It also makes it irrelevant.
Totally agree about due process. If she is forced to sell it would interesting to find out who buys it and what their familial/business/political connections to the town council is. Probably never find that out.
