102-Year-Old Oakland Man Ordered to Clean Up Graffiti on the Back Fence of His Home or Face Hefty Fine

He should just claim it is art and he asked the artist to decorate for him.

It is called "lawfare". It is BEYOND stupid, but that is the way the loony left thinks and the loony Californians vote.

I wonder if the old guys realizes he will be voting democrat after he passes and several times each election?

His Oakland, CA home must be worth nearly $1 million. Certainly he can afford to hire someone to comply with the graffiti cleanup.

When he bought it, it was probably 25,000. California has had massive housing inflation. And with out prop 13, he would have been taxed out of his home years ago.

California use to be a wonderful place to live. Now it is a toilet.

How come Democrats give away thousands in cash prizes to feral illegal invaders but want to fine taxpaying citizens.

This is just another case of Democrats wanting to punish the victim. Democrats are absolutely insane.

It is called "virtue signaling" and "changing the nature of America". And I agree, it is insane.

Shanty Town USA here we come.

You are making a stupid assumption. You have no idea what is income is or his finances now compared to what they were when he bought. The property tax bill may be making him broke now.

Regardless, he still owns a house worth nearly $1 million.

If so, and that is pure speculation, how much has it already been leveraged? Reverse mortage? Second Mortgage? Do you expect him to sell it to pay off the ridiculous fine?

That's assuming the story about the old man is actually true and not just a fabrication by the sorry-ass trump nym-shifting trolls.

From KTVU channel 2:

"The city inspector contacted KTVU and said he would do an immediate inspection and, presumably, cancel the citation."

So to escape government greed, he needs to sell his house and move to Idaho? If he is still under prop 13, he can afford to live with the inflated house value, otherwise ...

Giggle has a team of far-left fact-chuckers so you could always giggle it. LOL

So do I. a very modest 48 year old suburban 2 story 3 bedroom brick house on a roughly 1/3 acre corner lot in a small to medium sized university city in Central Ontario that I bought for $63000 40 years ago.My taxes are just over $4000 a year. If I sold it to move to something cheaper I'd pretty much need to move 75 miles north to somewhere with no facilities and no nearby hospital - and at 72 (wife

It all depends on when and where he bought the house. A man I worked with had a plot of land about 30 x 50 feet at Myrtle Beach SC. bought many years ago for not too much Sold it about 10 years ago for over $ 500,000. The only thing on the land was a cement slab where he parked a small camper.

In Charlotte some homes were bought many years ago and are almost in a slum area now. However with all the people moving into the area they are being offered several hundred dollars just so the homes could be torn down and other housed built. The owners are mostly retired now and vrey poor. They can not pay the tax on those homes now.

Yah but those are Justin Castro-Trudeau's Canaduh dollars. Maybe a carbon tax will help?

None of that is relevant. Homeowners must pay for ordinary and reasonable upkeep of their $1 million home. People in such homes are the first to complain about those who don't do upkeep.

Sure, it is relevant. Vandalism should be stopped by the police. This is not normal upkeep like repairing a broken fence post. He has been doing the normal upkeep but does not sit out on the sidewalk with a gun. Perhaps he should.

Can not do that. Remember that man and woman that stood on their property in California and got their guns taken away .
