The delinquents should pay up. Everyone else has.
Where have you been since October? There is a financial crisis. People are losing their jobs. These people can’t “pay up” they don’t have the money. I doubt they have just chosen to go to Europe for the summer and lose their home. They are choosing between eating and their property taxes. Nice compassion!
Look around…it happened in 1987. People owned huge homes, went belly up, then disappeared into the night. Live within your means.
