Ann Bauer turns us on to this WCCO story about a garbage house in Crystal. Apparently, the city will pay the owners — whose property has filled up with raw sewage — “fair market value” in order to take over the house and clean it up (which may involve razing it to the ground). In a time of rampant foreclosure, this sounds like a dangerous practice. Trash the house you can’t sell and the city will fork over the money!
