It used to be government would break your leg, then charge you for a crutch. Now it charges you for the sledgehammer used to inflict the injury:

The city of Atlanta demolished a man’s home after sending warnings to the wrong address — and now it wants to foreclose on the property to pay for the demolition costs, WSB-TV reported.

Homeowner Everett Tripodis told the station in an initial report several months ago that the city sent warnings to the wrong address before demolishing his century-old home — an investment property he bought with his mother and was remodeling on Atlanta’s historic West End.

Tripodis has been left with a vacant lot. Now municipal bureaucrats want that too — unless he can come up with $68,000 to pay them for tearing his house down without telling him.

Atlanta has been called the “San Francisco of the South” due to end stage moonbattery. Like Chicago, it is a forewarning of what liberal rule will reduce us to nationally if not overthrown.
