Houses got built, city came along and wanted a right of way, making it a public accessible road.
These rich folks decided they wanted a private drive where they could limit access to only residents and install a security shack.
Okay, now its a private road and should’ve been included in the homes taxes, however, they went cheap, trying to save money, and kept it separate.( probably a backdoor deal).
Everything was going according to plan until the peeps bought the deed. Can you say Ruh Ro Raggy
But something tells me that these wealthy, well-connected Rats will win in the end.
