Cities/municipalities do this in order to "incentivize"(so to speak) people into fixing the problem. They would not actually fine a person that was working on fixing the issue. They are just saying, "Hey we know you have a giant hole in your house, we know it's not you're fault, but you do need to get those repairs started to bring your house back up to code."

They do this because there are some people that would just half-ass some repairs or leave them unrepaired altogether. This is a big issue with burned down houses. A lot of people will just abandon the property of a burned down residence if they don't have the means to repair it.

Again, there is absolutely zero chance that the city would actually fine the guy if he was actively working to resolve the problem.

>It should be noted that Harris was technically the second woman drafted into the NBA. The first was Denise Long, a phenom in her own right who in 1969 was drafted by the Golden State Warriors straight out of Iowa’s Union-Whitten High School when she was just 19 years old.

>A 5-foot-11 forward, Long consistently scored over 100 points in individual high school games and specialized at shooting the deep ball in an era where the 3-point line did not even exist yet. However, NBA Commissioner Walter Kennedy vetoed Long’s selection because the NBA did not allow women or players straight from high school to be drafted.

I wonder what the phrase, "land area" could possibly mean...maybe it includes water territory also...water territory is probably included in land area also, right?

I haven't read the article, but let me guess...Its justv20 years away?
