“Usual click-bait headline which is totally misleading. They built beyond their property line boundary. But I guess the article would sound less exciting if it said, “Residents told to remove structures from land which they don’t own”.”
Thanks, I figured as much. If they don’t know their own property lines (and/or choose to ignore them), it’s not the city’s (or whoever’s) fault.
Judging from some of the shots in the video, it appears to be old railway bed, which means it may not be city property.
Depends on whether the railway sold any or all of it to the original homeowners or developer back when the lots were first developed (which was probably 70 years ago).
I wouldn’t be trusting the city or it’s employees claims. Hire a title company to fully research the development and it’s original documentation and get your own survey done.
Turning defunct railbeds into walking and biking paths is a popular way for cities to suck up federal funds these days.
