CLAIMING TAX SALE SYSTEM - AS IT’S CONSTRUCTED - IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Why do we care about Tax Sale?
Because in addition to the byzantine rules of the sale facilitating highly-sophisticated investors to rip the equity life-savings out of lesser-sophisticated, low-income communities, it also tangles and clouds titles of vacant properties so terribly that it makes them, in many cases, too onerous to acquire and develop.
AND THAT IS HOW YOU GET 15-30,000 VACANT PROPERTIES.
We’re hoping to change that with this case.
