you’re seriously not going to bring up Coking are u? the one with the rotting boarding house that Wyatt (I think it was Wyatt - been a while) built a steel framework completely around, with the intent of putting a parking garage Above her, and that sued to KEEP the gawkish framework around her house when Trump offered to tear the structure down - and then sued Trump for removing it and allowing daylight in the windows for the first time in 20 years while also putting a park next door for her? that Coking? cry me a river on that grifter. A few other details - the third floor had been uninhabitable for some time before Trump got involved, and there were numerous broken and boarded/painted up windows (probably why she didn’t want the steel structure removed) evidenced in before and after photos and she was years behind on taxes. So while the city couldn’t possess for taxes solely to sell to Trump, it would have been Trump’s right, along with any other private citizen, to purchase the property at a tax lein sale to the highest bidder. And had she not had a lawyer that brought Trump in as a red herring on the tax issue for the media to dine on, she’d have had no continuance and she’d have lost the house for nonpayment with nary a sentence in the local paper other than, another eyesore is gone.
