Poet Robert Frost once said that "good fences make good neighbors." He apparently never met Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is being sued by his neighbors for effectively squatting on their land and then seizing it to install a fence along his $830,500 private residence in suburban Philadelphia. The litigation is likely to put Shapiro in a much different light for many who think of him as a 2028 contender.

I just can’t help but think an $830,500 residence is that ‘great’ in a big city like Philly...Seems like he should have a $4,000,000+ home if he’s so politically connected to become governor...

Clearly what he is doing is awful!

I hope the landowners can get a fair hearing in Pennsylvania.

It serves as a profound condemnation of injustice, selfishness, and abuse of power, leading David to condemn himself.

If only...

Good ping, thanks!

Sounds like Shapiro is acting out the Zionist dream on a much smaller scale.

Exposed for the commie thug he really is. Arrested Mark Houck on a sunday morning. Pastor in front of kids and neighbors for a nonsense altercation at an abortion clinic. Orchestrated by the feds he was the willing participant. He is also the major enforcer of the COVID gov as he was Attorney General. Put violators in Jail, fines, threats to make sure the old folks were sent back to their stalls to end their lives in infectious homes instead of hospitals all illegal. Yeh he is the guy.

This is one of those stories where it’s helpful to understand the area in which the real estate sits. It isn’t in “Philadelphia” proper, it’s in Montgomery County outside the city. Specifically, it’s in Abington Township which has some really nice neighborhoods.

As the realtor would say, “Location, location, location.”

Abington is full of awful libtards. A lot of federal, state, and county attorneys. It’s the same area many of the Biden DOJ attorneys reside. It’s where all the Philadelphia power brokers live, when they don’t want to reside in Philadelphia. In the 1970’s it was where Benjamin Netanyahu grew up. (Back when it was a lovely conservative stronghold)

Yep, but without the dancing hands and bizarro leg positions.

A recent aerial view of both properites show the neighbors huge lot
while shapiro's lot appears miniscule.

The disputed portion is unimproved wooded parklike setting.

The govnerd is definitely overreaching on this.

When he was young Netenyahu once lived in Abington

It's part of his history they might know each other.
