Not much in this board makes me grin. This does the trick nicely.

This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time! What a troll move, lol. I'd rent the space in front of their homes and park the worst jalopies I could find there.

So trolls are good when they're on your side? 10/10 moral inconsistency. Would downvote again.

When trolls troll folks that are only against the rest of us I can see the humor in it. It's funny.

TIL only Feinstein and Pelosi live on that street. But whoever you have to fuck over to get your jollies I guess.

but the others are rich, so fuck them /s

NICE. But lets be fair with the prices.. lets think about it.. its a safe environment and chances of car theft are next to 0.. security and safety can and have to cost a bit. 20$ 24hrs ticket?

You need to add zeros to your prices.

They formerly had houses there, they don't anymore.

Haha, but we sure got them

The title of this thread clearly says "lived", as in past tense. Not sure what the point of your comment is

Why am I supposed to care who used to live there?

OP's entire rant is about politicians.

And home owners associations are filled with them.

Okay, but OP mentions Feinstein and Pelosi in his title, rants about their misdeeds, and makes it sounds like this is some sort of comeuppance for them, when they don't even live there anymore.

Good post thanks for sharing.

Alrighty then... GAY PRIDE parade erry day!

Fuck those rich pricks. Make them pony up a few hundred thousand each to buy it back.

You think rich people in San Francisco are anti-gay?

No, it would be fun to have a flying circus in their front yards every day though.

Could it be these same people

Could it be you don't read articles?

Can it be that I don't like to click into not original links

Big money is taking over San Francisco at an alarming rate, this is a nice middle finger.

Before you try and make this is a big fuck you to the wealthy, it isn't. this is a rich real estate couple scamming other rich people, most of whom aren't Pelosi and Feinstein. Its a scam, plain and simple.

it says int he article the person who bought the road is a real estate investor. wouldnt that make them part of the group causing these issues?

Why do I get the feeling that this post won't be put in contest mode?

My first impression was that it was insider sale to friend.

And the conspiracy is what?

"lol libruls."

A home owners association forgot to pay a tax bill-lol

Ah yes, the wonderful world of HOAs, LOL

"Alright, that'll be $13,000 for 24 hours, $30,000 for 3 days, and for a limited time offer only $80,000 for 7 days of parking.

That's a good idea.

But I'd also make it a toll road, and charge for simply driving on the road.

Yeah this idea is best. Might not net the most money, but if there is one thing these types cannot stand it's to be inconvenienced or treated like peasants. Having to stop and pay a daily toll would enrage the Pelosi's of the world.

I was envisioning some sort of electronic pass system (like the tollways in some parts of the country). But your idea is better.

Make them pay in CASH. Don't accept bills over $20.

Toll price $1000 per pass-thru.

Naw, just line the streets with parking meters, make them feel like us. Also, change the street name - raffle a winner to pick a name or pick something obscene like Che Guevara drive.

Now this, this I like. Have an internet contest to name the street.

Let anyone pay $2 to add their own option (to the list of possible votes).

Sell 10 votes for $2.

Street name with the most votes after N days takes it.

The internet would go nuts.

You could even do a YouTube video of the changing of the street sign.

Spotted the libertarian

Nah. Just want to extract the most pain and money from these folks.

Also make it a maximum of a 4 hour period that you are allowed to pay the toll for.

No pay = Immediate Tow.

Yeah, so we can chalk the tires on their 100k cars.

I was thinking along the lines of making them wake up in the middle of the night to go feed the meter.

I like that, and make it sound just like a viper car alarm.

hahahahaaha!

now a toll booth!

Troll booth*

From the article:

Scott Emblidge, the lawyer for the Presidio Homeowners Association, said in a letter to the city that the owners failed to pay because the tax bill was mistakenly being sent to the address of an accountant who had not worked for the homeowners association since the 1980s, the Chronicle reported.

I would guess the homeowners can fight this and win. The city sent the tax bill to the wrong address. I hate rich people as much as the next guy, but the city screwing them over based on their clerical error is not right either.

The city sent the tax bill to the wrong address.

Because the homeowners association didn't update their mailing address with the city. That's their problem.

Because the homeowners association didn't update their mailing address with the city.

And you know this how? The unpaid taxes only went back a few years but they were sending the bill to an accountant they used in the eighties. Your story doesn't really make sense.

How does a home owners association move locations? Aren't they associated with a specific neighborhood?

They switched accountants in the 1980s and nobody told the city.

That makes more sense. This is on them.

Yeah. The association might have a claim against their lawyer or accountant for failing to catch the issue

Switched in the 1980s??

Nobody here is looking great on the paperwork front, except the buyer couple

Are you a lawyer?

The husband/wife team did not 'just' buy it; they bought it in April, 2015.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

• [/r/betternews] Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi lived in the same exclusive GATED neighborhood, full of multimillion dollar homes, this guy just bought the street, love it

^{If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)}

I don't understand, so this guy bought thier houses, As in he gave them a bunch of money, and you like that?

Street raves for peasants.

Did people read the article? The people in the gated community got screwed. The city billed wrong address for the the owner of community then sold the road that they owned without informing them, over $90 of unpaid, to a another rich capitalist.

Suck it polticians, now you'll have to pull a few favors to get this all cleared up.

What a mild inconvenience.

The real question here is if the couple who bought the street has the right to charge for parking on the street. If yes, 90 grand is a steal for the amount of recurring income the spots could generate. Of course they would have to figure out the logistics of parking enforcement and what not since it's a private road, but I'm sure there are impound lots willing to patrol the street. If San Fran tells the couple they don't have the right to charge for parking on the street, then sweet... You now own a street... I wonder if the couple is on the hook for road and sidewalk maintenance.
