Wow, reading some presumption into this article, aren't you? Why do you say there was "no way?" The one really obvious way they could believe it was "protected" if not owned was if there was a developer's agreement describing the lake as "common area," which is a very typical way to develop in Florida. Lake is made when fill is used to level lots, homes are built around lake, developer maintains lake for a period of time then conveys to Property association. The average property owner does not monitor the ownership of the common areas and as long as the developer still has record title, tax notices will be sent to him and not the homeowners. In this case, there was little to protect the homeowners apparently.
A different question is raised on what to do about it. Posters have suggested eminent domain, adverse possession and easement theories, the correctness of which depends largely on one's politics.
Still, it seems unfair to "blame" it on the homeowners without more facts suggesting their culpability.
I will have you know I have not eaten buzzard in at least 12 days.
So you lie again.
What does a gambling Chihuahua look like, anyway? (No points for posting a picture of "Dogs Playing Poker.")

Is the third prong of this doctrine "Equity favors the stupid over the slimy?"
His scenario was, he would build a structure on his property; specifically, a deck. You just asserted you would shoot someone who was building a deck on his own property. Needless to say, this could never be a legal act, however, the moral failing of such a person -- yourself -- is breathtaking.
That, or you are a simple troll. I'm voting the latter.
I try to restrict myself to well-deserved shots, but I'm willing to do cheap shots by special request.
People like this idiot, who has no idea of what ethical behavior is he is so blinded by a buck court having the political process being used to change aspects of exactly what is private property.
If he is an enemy to anyone, he is an enemy to anyone else who owns private property. If I lived there, I would use what I know about the political process to make hime really cry, and to give me the last laugh.
