“Looks like a land grab.”
Of course it is.
The red-haired Mandami lady on the other coast said the quiet part out loud: Marxists believe private property ownership is bad and a tool of white supremacy.
This is all about just screwing an old white guy and making sure he can’t pass the land on to kids. It has nothing to do with ecology or water or anything else. Those are all just weapons to use against white people and private property.
Exactly - same is happening in the burn areas in So Cal - where people who were burned out of their homes cannot get building permits (after a year!) - and/or cannot afford to rebuild, didn’t have insurance, etc. - while the government drags its feet.
Yet they are still being charged property taxes as if the homes were still standing.
So, of course, the developers are moving in buying up these distressed properties for pennies on the dollar....
It was a land grab from the beginning.
Ditto for Lahaina in Hawaii.
