I'm sorry this is happening to you. Unfortunately what people find out is that most people never actually own there home. The bank does and a lot of people are paying a mortgage. Then when it comes to the land we NEVER actually own the land. The government does.
I'm glad you are putting up a fight. You could be a holdout like they do in China.

Haha, yeah in doing some research on this topic I stumbled upon this pic. There's another one I think in England where there's one lone house in between two highways.

Yeah right off the bat I told the guy I'm going to make this as difficult as possible for you and the city. Wrote up and passed out a letter to all the neighbors basically encouraging others to be difficult and hold out as well.

I know they are trying to be cheap but at the end of the day it will cost more to take me to court than to just pay me so I want to make sure I'm treated as fairly as possible but I know in the end the city will win. :(

In Great Britain the Queen has even more ownership of the land. The landowner just registers that they live on the plot of land but the government always owns the land. What that means is, if you strike oil on your land, it is not yours -- it belongs to the Queen.
