Problem is and I believe I've said it before, is, you never REALLY own your home or ground. If you don't pay the real estate taxes every year, the local taxing district will relieve you of it, sell it at public auction and if that auction don't realize enough return to cover the delinquent taxes, you are still on the hook for the balance, so you never own your place outright. The Gummit always has it's fingers in your till.
