Then why would he remove the fence for $30k?

[Poohbah]

Because he's offering to sell them the land and all of the rights, priveleges, and responsibilities that come with it.

After he sells it, it ain't his problem.

[freedomcrusader]

Because then he wouldn't own the land and thus would no longer be legally liable. See, he is offering the land for $30K, not just the removal of the fence. From the articele:

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.

Then why would he remove the fence for $30k?

He would be selling the lakeside property to the homeowner, not just removing the fence, and would have no further liability.

[weaponeer]

Then why would he remove the fence for $30k?

Because that is how much it is worth to him?

Then why would he remove the fence for $30k?

He's not going to remove the fence for 30K, he's going to sell them the parcel the fence is on. Then THEY can do what ever they want with THEIR fence.
