Unintended consequences.

I can't say what I'm thinking. Not on here, at least.

[cambridge]

WTF.
And they didn't even need any black helicopters.

[Smokin' Joe]

This grows more obscene daily.

I'm surprised that some "city employees" haven't been found murdered.

[DefiantZERO]

I thought government antics couldn't surprise me anymore. I was wrong.

...Justice Breyer: 'Not all our decisions are right'...

Can't think of the last time he was right.

If the powers that be deemed that the value of the properties was frozen at the time of the filings, then the rent ought to have stopped then as well.

The city won't let the homeowners take advantage of the increase in their property values so why should they profit by collecting rent.

[Rifleman]

I wonder if the city thugs have ever heard of Carl Drega?

"I'm surprised that some "city employees" haven't been found murdered."

I think if there were, there should be an immediate presidential pardon issued! Furthermore, maybe if a couple of "justices" were to meet with a tragic end, perhaps a presidential pardon should be considered as well.

On the southwest, a judge takes the farm of a taxpayer and transfers the deed to illigal immigrants ( sorry... undocumented workers);
On the east coast, the supreme court take the house of a taxpayer and gives it to a developer.

This used to happen only in third worls countries.

[Caipirabob]

This does not call for legal action.

If this is New London Connecticut, it wouldn't be considered "murder".

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

This is just petty and vindictive, and the city officials who are trying to do this need to be taken out horse whipped!

Were the homeowners responsible for keeping up their mortgage payments for the 5 years of trials? If so, they should bill the city for the full amount of mortgage paid and see how they like it. If they were paying for city property then the city should have to reimburse them!

Its called have your cake and eat it too.

Every citizen should be happy to pay thier fair share to Mother Russia. I must have woke up in a parallel universe where we lost the Cold War

[TXBSAFH]

I was think:

Rope
Tar
Feathers

Repeat asnecessary.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

It still only happens in third world countries.

[GloriaJane]

That's what happens when the communists.... um ... I mean libs have control of people's lives.
