They didn't exploit anything. The couple was not privy to the circumstances. The fault arguable lies with the accountant who failed to transfer this to the successor accountant. Either way there have been homeowners who have lost home in the same manner - who couldn't afford to correct the problem. Each and everyone of the residents of this private street: * could have notice the auction. * could come up with money to buy out the couple Also notice that the couple is now responsible for the maintenance on the street. Charging for parking seems reasonable way to make the street self supporting. Why do the homeowners have a private street in the first place? Oh... because they wanted a gated community. Tears that no one paid the property taxes on their little enclave.
