Ha! These guys would all make more money if it was turned into a reality TV show. But maybe they can write a book and get movie rights.
Agreed. Itās well written. 
Theyāve pulled the race and class cards. Who wonāt root for them, the underdogs, now? Very SF.

If everyone decided to donate a penny to them, they would be $300 million richer. Donāt do it!!!
The are shameless opportunistic and classlessā¦ they have been using the media since day one. If they had silently negotiated in the beginning with a smart lawyer they would have doubled their moneyā¦ now they will just make their lawyer a few bucks
Maybe you can sell them your Discovery Bay propertyā¦ tell them there is a private street on there somewhereā¦

Isnāt it just $3M?
And really itās their lawyer getting rich.
Maybe I should go to law schoolā¦
Oh yesā¦ I was thinking if everyone had donated a dollarā¦ 
I once considered law school too in one of my darkest moments. Even went thru the trouble of taking the LSAT. Glad I didnāt follow thru.
Read somewhere law schools have lots of trouble getting students. The AI wave is going to put a lot of junior lawyers out of work. Unlike medical doctors where nobody cares where you went to school, for lawyers unless you graduated from one of the top 10 donāt even bother.

The precedent is SCARY. The people follow the law to buy a piece of land. The board of supervisors decided to void the sale. I donāt get how/why the board of supervisors would even have the power to do that. When taxes arenāt owed, the land goes back to the county. The county sold it in accordance with its process for recovering back taxes. How can the board of supervisors void a sale by the county treasury?
Imagine how this works. You buy a home in SF today for $1M. The value double in the next 5 years, and itās worth $2M. The person that sold it to you comes back and says only getting $1M for the house is unfair. They demand the sale be undone. They win a board of supervisors vote and boom. You donāt own your house anymore.
Next thing you know the board of supervisors will decide paying a landlord 30 years of rent and owning nothing is unfair. Theyāll order the landlord to give the property to the tenant. Property rights mean nothing to these people.

Itās because this case garnered too much publicity. So itās not a normal case anymore. So you canāt really compare it to normal situations. Normally, the couple should be able to retain it. But itās being special cased due to the publicity.
However, Iām sure the couple will profit from this one way or another. Not all is lost for them.
Publicity doesnāt change the law. I think theyāll eventually prevail if they keep fighting it. Thereās no way the board can vote to make a sale not valid.
The couple messed with the wrong people. If it were some random poor black peopleās properties the board would do nothing. But they were buddies of Feinstein so somehow itās special.
Rich people get 2nd and 3rd and 4th chances. Thatās how it works. Just makes me want to be rich that much more.

You wonāt have the connections of old money people. Theyāll still crush you. Itās insane how that network works. Itās more prominent on the east coast.
Come on, Dianne!!!
Thatās insane. If you nullify the sale, then you have to return the money. I think this just goes to show the board has ZERO authority to overturn a sale by the county tax office. Thereās no way this holds up on appeal.
