Neighbors livid after exclusive San Francisco street is sold

[@mackay10]

This is so dumb. Why does anyone care that that two people were smart enough to figure out how to buy an amazing home? The only reason the neighbors are mad is because they didn't think of this themselves.

[@mattstorrud2419]

Every homeowner had as much opportunity as the immigrant couple who used their intelligence rather than complain about their situation. Good for them!

[@mojokuku2745]

If I owned that street I would pave it with pig manure.

[@Urbicide]

Huge houses on postage stamp-sized lots. Turn it into Section 8 housing.

[@brandyb2931]

Urbicide They didn't buy the homes, they bought the street.

[@waxqueen70]

They did not pay their yearly taxes of... $14 dollars! No joke!

[@elfpimp1]

Nothing more annoying than someone who sounds like she's asking a question when answering, well, a question.

[@williamryan7403]

Oh, you mean that style of tone in her voice? Yeah I noticed that trend awhile back. Very annoying.

[@Tattoodtoolow]

Looks like someone made a VERY wise purchase and easily 10x investment.. ID install a gate a Charge a monthly access fee to enter $$$$$ and well you have to get to your house somehow..

[@OfficialLILV]

My guess...the investors want to ruffle the "RICH" feathers on that street. They might put up a gate and charge a toll...or settle with the HOA for double their investment. The HOA will get sued, its a mess. With the amount of money on that street...90K is probably what they keep on hand as petty cash.

[@dfc99nyc]

My guess is the HOA will sue the new owners just to wear them down until they settle out of court.

[@OfficialLILV]

Its going to be a slippery slope on both sides. My goal as new owners would be to cash out quick, before they have the chance to sue. Lol I hope we can all follow this. Don't know why, the whole thing seems ignorant. The city of S.F are the A-holes!

[@williamlevy1981]

Ms. Lam is also blatantly lying. She says "I don't want to make money off of the street and common areas. I just want to hold onto it." GTFOOH

[@seeyu4351]

William Levy HOW GREEDY CAN THEY BD THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WHERE DOING

[@Seafarer64]

Sounds like a great place for a sanctuary city BLOCK PARTY!!! Everyone's invited!

[@dfc99nyc]

Bizarre story but the homeowners association should have known to have a current address on all property tax items. The overdue amount was only $994 so it looks like someone was paying the bills in past years. Very strange. Even stranger is how the street and sidewalks ended up with a separate block and lot number.

[@XleahrachelleX]

How does this actually effect property owners, though, if any? Or how potentially could it?

[@jondohnson5538]

Powerful Vietnamese owners , no doubt well connected. Like everything in the good ol USA , owned by the non American

[@ojisanhoward8940]

Parking on the street and that's pretty much it.

[@OfficialLILV]

Could the new owners put up a gate? Charge a toll? It is their streets now... $20 in and out. Lol

[@ojisanhoward8940]

Living in Las Vegas Possibly

[@hudsonsteele1674]

In circles...

[@hudsonsteele1674]

Wow! Moonbeam must be getting more money hungry. He has taxed gasoline about as far as he can, so now he's selling the streets!

[@johnhaas951]

Make it a sanctuary street !

[@sambananas4513]

The American dream, turn off the TV and look for value, it is out there.

[@garywhitehead5128]

What the flying fuck??????

[@tzmetalsmith]

Insider info sale, happens all the time. They didn't know?.....suuuuuuure... LOL

[@bryanalvarez8025]

I hope they charge them and if they're late charger then more and a big fee and interest just like they do the middle class and the poor. She should charge 10% of their house cost a year.. and that's being nice.

[@batman-hs1us]

I eat dog road would be a perfect name for their road being their country folk eat dogs back home in Taiwan . I eat dog toll fee and booting program , sounds like a money maker to me .

[@Limescale12]

this is hilarious

[@worddunlap]

I wish it could be a homeless campground or a Syrian refugee welcome center...

[@somfplease]

only in a america.

[@TheSeanm102]

good luck to this couple well done

[@MJ-ij6wh]

Nice!

[@franknash7878]

Ya see, now they have to deal with a third party when it comes to repairs/ upkeep. Sure they may hire an attorney to handle relations but it was cost them. I enjoy the idea that they may have to pay more for basically nothing. Kinda like homeowners forced to absorb the nagative neighborhood effects a homeless shelter brings to a neighborhood. Sounds stupid but until you deal with homeless issues in you market value area pushed by rich detached liberals on someone area you may never know. Ya think they are within a mile of a homeless outreach. Let the property value drop like the poorer neighborhood. 90k for property in SF......score.

[@glennschmitz1709]

Funny, really funny.

[@eileen1820]

Who else knew it was going to be an Asian buyer? I knew it. Why? Because if anyone has been to residential areas in San Francisco, it'll about 80% owned by Chinese. The whole City is Chinatown now. Has been for 20+ years.

[@Tattoodtoolow]

They are also savvy investors.. and yes a stereotype but they just work harder at being successful.. that's why as a culture they have highest earnings.

[@dougyankunas3104]

Lol , the liberal state gotcha .

[@stephysteph9538]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah
