I received just a couple parking tickets from my years in LA, but zero in my driving years before or since. My favorite was when they erected an alternate side of the street parking sign and ticketed my car the same day for violating the new requirement. I paid it promptly because it was just the cost of doing business in a corrupt metropolis. I guess that this guy does have some issues. Getting the vehicle out of sight would have prevented the initial fines anyway. Did you hear about some more Phoenix rental fraud? "...

Too bad these losers suck on to these jobs like a parasite and then get their friends to join. These are the people that during their social time can only talk about who they got. These people belong on an island with no way to get off. Wow what losers. And the judge. Bet he's a great family man. Just another example how idiotic our buerocrats have become.

Sorry to keep you in the dungeon so long. Igor’s been behaving better here recently, so I hadn’t bothered to check on him today.

Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy!

If the guy never sells - the city never gets paid. Additionally, he didn't lose 245k. He lost his house, but in a foreclosure - if the process completes and the home is sold, the HO gets the excess funds after the secured interests are satisfied. If the city did a credit bid for $2400 and got the house, a court would likely overturn. A lien only works if the property is sold. If the guy never sells – the city never gets paid.

The city has gone a little bit overboard. On the other hand, how did this guy keep his utilities on? Someone had to be paying the bills. If not him, then who? I'm calling BS. He could have taken care of this. Sounds like both parties a mis-behaving just a little. The city has gone a little bit overboard.

If he can't get it together to pay a $50 ticket, then yes, he shouldn't be driving. Nor, really , should he be trusted to live alone in that house. You can't argue one without getting the other.
