It's happening to elderly / vulnerable because anyone else, faced with losing their house over a $50 tax bill, would pay the tax bill. This isn't something that happens in a single day, or in the middle of the night. I'm only familiar with the tax sale rules in one Connecticut town, but the include a provision for the (delinquent) taxpayer to pay their bill in full within 30 days of the auction to cancel the sale / lien.
