#1 But the gunshot bill is unlimited.

#2 Do they throw in an AR-15 and 600 rounds of ammo? (so do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#5 "Sold in 1978 by the city,"

begs the question: From whom did they steal it?

#6 If the land title is really worth only a dollar then that means the people around there add in total only one dollar after all those working and benefits are added...
For the maths challenged it means there's a lot of wealth damaging people nearby.

#7 The USA has a vast number of "wealth damaging people" but they tend to live elsewhere.

#8 A scarcely publicized ongoing scam is the sale of huge amounts of "nonperforming" mortgages by government-sponsored entities to cronies such as big banks and the well-connected. In ye olden times a non-performing mortgage was settled on the steps of the nearest courthouse at a sheriff's auction by sale to the highest bidder, in other words, liquidate the bad loan & move on from there. That is no longer the American way.

#9 Many land parcels in the USA, particularly in places like parts of St. Louis, have a negative value. Even $1 paid is far too much.

#10 Ref #9: Yes, some areas and water found out in St. Chas County have been found to be.... not so healthy. Elevated cancer rates, etc. The closer you get to the old ammo plant (Now Busch Wildlife Center), the less healthy.

#11 And then there are the property taxes. You think it will be valued at $1 for the county records?
