- toomuchtodo 3y agoIf necessary based on circumstances, consequences, and alternatives, potentially. In my case, at the time (dumb and early 20s), I simply could not afford the ~$60k to renovate the ~$30k property to local planning standards by the court ordered due date, due to the extensive damage caused to it by college student renters, nor would the city foreclose on the property or provide any relief. I made a calculated decision based on the opinion of attorney what the city could do for an unauthorized demolition operation, and it worked out. "Where's the house?" "What house?" I partnered with the local historical society so they could take as much as possible from the property of historical significance or value ("The house is in bad shape, take whatever you can before scavengers strip it"). Not an attorney, not your attorney. The intersection of reality and the legal framework is tricky. Determine your risk appetite, prioritized potential outcomes, and second order effects. Then act. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37668438 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37668438 (not out here willy nilly knocking down historic buildings, sometimes there are no great options, only competing least worst options)
