There is a movie in this somewhere... But who can make it something like frank capra, or is that spirit of America gone from today's people.

"city staff said that the roof and walls of Pangrac's house were slowly falling in on her"

"the city felt it was necessary to demolish it"

"the city had placed a $19,360 lien on the property's sale price in order to pay for the city-ordered demolition"

"city staff say they looked into having charity groups rebuild the house"

"city officials said that city ordinances wouldn't allow for it"

Now let's talk about the same CITY/CITY STAFF/CITY OFFICIALS robbing us blind approving fat-cat pensions, never ending taxes and tax proposals, and for ramming a high speed train up our behinds while they stick it to an old lady whose only crime seems to have been minding her own business.

Where's the parade down Castro Street for her?

THIS TOWN IS PATHETIC.
