""Did we ever really own our property. I mean, stop paying your property taxes and watch what happens.""
I've said that same thing before, but this is just blantant disregard for the avarage citizens rights.
Big time developers now have the ability to take you house.
The difference with non-payment of property taxes, is the city/county places the property up for auction, people bid on the property and the winner gets the property. You get back the difference between taxes owed and the winning bid. Here one entity gets to decided the price, and you have to take it.
