When I watched this video about a blocked driveway, it was preluded by a car commercial. Gotta love juxtaposition.

Adding video to channels (Law) - requested by notarobot.

Wow that was easy.

I think there's two lessons to be learned here.

1) Pay your taxes.

2) Be nice to your neighbours, especially if you ignore #1

This is pretty funny if you ask me. Hmm, I'm going to screw all my neighbours by not paying taxes, leaving them with an increased burden. Waaaah they took my driveway away, boo hoo, poor little me. Please save me from these awful people (and the consequences of my own stupidity) Mr. reporter man.

wow you're a really cool person, huh? First off, she's an older woman with cancer... maybe she doesn't have the money to pay. Second, do you have some inside information about this legal battle? Because you're assuming a great deal of things about her intentions and actions. Third, I know it is hard to believe... but there is this thing called 'community,' where one person helps out another in need. Her neighbor bought her land and did this to her, likely to get the rest of her land cheaply. What kind of asshole would do that?

"...maybe she doesn't have the money to pay..."

She has a house and two horses on some pretty big acreage. If she can't afford the property tax then sell the place. It's not rocket science.

Ultimately she's the one who screwed herself. She owed taxes, I presume for many years, she didn't pay, instead she fought the city in court and lost. Instead of selling her place to pay for what she owed she decided to stick her head in the ground and hope it would all go away.

I'm sorry I just have no sympathy for people that stupid and self-centred.

Access to property is supposed to be preserved by law. Hopefully when it's all said and done, she can win a judgment against the new owner for violating easement.
