For what, buying land that legally went up for sale when a laughably low tax went unpaid for 40 years? If this had happened anywhere else to people other than the ultra-rich, nobody would care and they'd be allowed to own it. This is nothing more than a demonstration of America being ruled by the whims of oligarchy rather than law.

Defective service is defective service. The tax bill was being being returned every year and the city made no meaningful attempt to contact the property owner before auctioning off the property.

The same result would have happened with anyone who could afford an attorney to pursue rescission of the sale.
