Believe me, It catches on quick after first few are shot out; then becomes the local national past time; and shows the masses how little power the elite really have once the people wake up and say no more for you guys.

Housing stock deteriorated to the point where you can buy a two-bedroom fixer-upper for less than $60,000.

Now this here is the best deal in my old neighborhood. It's not one of those crappy $1 houses. This looks pretty nice. It's even got glass in the windows. Today.

The sad thing is that many of these older houses that are rotting away are of better construction and materials than the ones being built today.

A way to address that would be to give the vehicle owner 30-60 days to prove innocence/identify the driver before entering the owner record. But I doubt they provide that much leeway.

Real 2x4s, slate roofs that last 100 years.
