Excuse me, did you read the story? She didn't even make an attempt to try to work things out...the town would have worked with her. She's a bum or mentally disturbed...and people who own houses, who don't take care of them, are bums...if they can't physically take care of their homes or can't afford the $10 it would take to hire a kid to do it, then they can't afford to be homeowners. Period.
Damn all the grass nazis.May they suffer eternal crabgrass and feral geese pooping daily on thir sidewalks.
Actually I did read the story It does not say she didn't even make an attempt to try to work things out, it merely says she didn't appear in court after they started giving her fines she couldn't pay Big difference. Since that is the case we have no evidence that the town would have worked with her.
If they can't physically take care of their homes or can't afford the $10 it would take to hire a kid to do it, then they can't afford to be homeowners.
Moor's troubles started with a dishonest contractor who tore apart her house and walked away with her money, according to Ian J. Hirsch, a Hackensack lawyer who used to represent her. The contractor was fined in Mahwah Municipal Court, but that didn't help Moor, Hirsch said. "The house stayed the way it was," he said. "The scaffolding stayed, there were shingles in the yard.
If you think some kid could fix that for 10 bucks you are delusional. And WE all have to wonder - did you read the story?
