The $30k did not mean they owned the lake. It meant the fence came down.
No, at the very least, it meant they would purchase the property between them and the lake. I'm tired of debunking this very obvious falsehood of yours. Here, for the third time, from the article:
The speculator, 44-year-old Don Connolly of Valrico, now is offering to sell the land behind each of the homes for $30,000 per homeowner.

You know darn well how this stuff is marketed - lakefront property, the lake is held as a common area. Christ, the deeds probably say the same thing.
Apparently not, or the new owner wouldn't have been able to define clear property lines.
One person was liable for the taxes, and he defaulted. No one stepped up to pay for the land except the Evil Speculator.

What did the lawyers do wrong to get sued for?I doubt the lawyers did anything wrong because in all likelihood, the buyers weren't even represented by a lawyer with respect to the closing of title, but rather, by a real estate broker or escrow agent.

As said earlier, nothing like freeloaders when the handouts stop.
An entire political party is based on the vehemence of this phenomenon.

Great book but so-o-o depressing. Not one of the characters had any redeeming attributes. I do recommend it, though.
I also recommend anything by his late father, Andre Dubus---perhaps the greatest short story writer since E. Miller Hemingway.

In his most recent development he had some tennis courts that were to be taken over by the owners when half the houses were sold. For the past 5 years he has been paying the taxes and insurance on the tennis courts and trying without success to get the homeowners to take over the responsibility.
It sounds like the homeowners don't have a choice once 1/2 the homes are sold.

I think the language is "general circulation" here. That means everyone publishes in the Daily Business Review which no one except lawyers and "speculators" reads.
To: AppyPappy
It doesn't say that in the article.
Paragraph 6, sentence 2. And the picture is in the middle of the article, not at the top.
To: AppyPappy
It's the sixth paragraph from top. Reread the article and retract your falsehood.

What?

Uncalled for. I offered civil discourse with you. Still, I would have enjoyed your ad hominems were they in the least bit clever, since you clearly can not refute, with any coherence, over 200 years of legal precedent, but alas, your attempt to shout above the din of the squeaking wheels on your rusty shopping cart have betrayed you, and in the marketplace of ideas, you came up empty... standing under an overpass, railing with chin bespittled fury against voices only you can hear.
May you one day regain the same white knuckled grip on reality as your fingerless gloves have upon your squeegie.

What? What part of "the sixth paragraph" are you having difficulty understanding?
