Priceless. Sell street back to residents for $1 or more MILLION!
Taxes and Sheriff’s Sales are for the LITTLE PEOPLE, dontcha know. We’re SPECIAL and it doesn’t apply to us.
They need to pay an annual Millionaire's tax plus a billion to regain control.
SF is Broke.
The couple should put up a gate and close the street until they drop the suit.
Sell it on to whoever will buy it for a profit, and get out of the lawsuit/liability loop.
Absolutely. There are very few ways to rescind a tax sale; but I would bet that about $50,000 an hour is being spent on attorneys right now to try to do so.
The major problem is that the sale is almost 2 years old. Going to be hard to rescind that without a good old fashioned judge in the pocket to do it.
I call bullying!!! I’m bully-shaming the rich folks!!! /sarc
Too low. There are 120 parking spaces. They could easily charge $1,000 per month each, not an out of line price for parking in SF. That’s 1.44 million per year.
They could have an RV Park there.
A vacant lot there would be a bargain at $50/SF. Let the sellers and buyers hire separate appraisers, and split the difference. The sellers will still come out $millions to the good, and the homeowners will have no more tax bills. Everybody wins.
The thing these owners of the street need to watch out for is a scenario where you have every occupant of those multi-million dollar homes suddenly slipping and falling on the street and sustaining "permanent, life-altering injuries" the next time it rains. I'm sure there are plenty of ambulance-chasing lawyers who would love to take a case like that.
I'm not sure why anyone would buy a street in a neighborhood like that. It's an enormous liability issue, and the new owners are now responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the street.
Rent it out to a conservative group in 2020 and line it with Trump/Pence yard signs.
This kind of thing must happen all the time in private developments with publicly-accessible private streets running through them.
I suspect the equivalent of squatters rights apply - since nobody has contested the current use of the land for the last two years that use (parking) may be protected. (If I don’t actively keep people from hunting on my land for a couple of years they get the right to continue hunting on it, and that right even extends if I sell the land, though only to those hunters who can show they have been ‘continuously and uncontestedly hunting it.)
Or tear up the street and start a community garden for all SF residents. Very eco-friendly.
If the city was mailing tax bills to the wrong address then the residents might have a good case here.
the new owners could maybe erect a nice new high rise Section 8 welfare housing project....to help house many of San Fransicko’s thousands of street beggars
they’ll be Helping The Homeless while also Increasing the Neighborhood’s DIversity
all major left-wing causes, should be very popular in SF
