All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.” -Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy
- classybull 9y agoDo you not think that once in 30 years one the ~50 rich, seemingly very intelligent people that live on that street didn't step out onto it and think, "Hey.. this is a nice private street we have here. The property taxes on it must be killer. Hmm.. I wonder who pays those.. maybe I'll bring it up at the next HOA meeting." Why do I get the feeling that the same people defending the residents of this street wouldn't bat an eye at condemning a poor person whose electricity gets shut off because the bill was sent to their former address and they simply forgot abou tit?
- chrisbennet 9y agoI think you are confusing your animus for selfish rich people with what it fair. Property taxes on that street were $14 year per home I believe. When you depend on your HOA dues to pay them [and the HOA apparently hired an accountant to actually pay them], you probably aren't going to notice a discrepancy.
