    Hodgson said she hasn’t heard anything from the Atlanta-based company responsible, You Call It We Haul It.

    In fact, you don’t even need to call. We just Haul It.

    Nothing a couple million won’t fix. Figure 1 million for the home and 3 million for the emotional damage, attorneys fees, and sentimental value.

    She sounds almost calm about it in these quotes. I would be enraged. Getting a lawyer for this wouldn’t likely be that difficult, and I would sue them into oblivion over it. By the sounds of it at least they’re probably wasn’t much (if anything) inside. It would be much worse if it was a house that they actively lived in and had all of their stuff in it.

    So she sent a family member over to see what was going on and who asked to see a permit. When a person in charge at the site checked his permit, Hodgson says he admitted he was at the wrong address.

    This seems like something you would double check before firing up the engines.

    “It’s been boarded up about 15 years, and we keep it boarded, covered, grass cut, and the yard is clean. The taxes are paid and everything is up on it,” she said.

    Not really her home then, is it?

      She paid the taxes on it, just because she’s not using it doesn’t mean it’s not hers.

              I didnt use either word.

              And no, it’s demolished.

              It was a house.

              I don’t know what point you’re trying to make, but it’s obviously stupid.

                Original post says it wasn’t a home, implying it was only a house, not a home. You asked what it was [if not a home]. A different person again said it wasn’t a home since nobody lived there, also implying it was just a house, not a home. Then you said it has been [her home].

                I clarified that there’s a difference between a house and a home, since that is the point the people you replied to twice were trying to make but you didn’t catch. My point, whether it is stupid or not and whether you agree with it or not, wasn’t really all that difficult to comprehend. So if you don’t know what point I’m trying to make, maybe you’re an idiot? I don’t know.

                The big thing we’re trying to say is that there’s a huge difference between coming back from vacation to find your home demolished, with all of your treasured and/or valuable belongings in it and also nowhere to sleep/cook/relax, versus finding an empty husk that was unused for 15 years is now gone. Yes, she owned the former house and is owed significant compensation from the demo company. Maybe there is even significant emotional trauma after her childhood home is destroyed. But that’s still different from what the headline implies.

                  Home, house, both paid for possessions?

                  No difference.

                  Your argument is immaterial, and a waste of time. I’m not interested in what you have to say. Should you decide to continue this ridiculous diatribe, I’ll simply block you.

                  Cheers!

          They paid for it and paid to keep it maintained.

          Why is it not theirs?

            The point Nudding is trying to make is that they didn’t live there, it was being passibly maintained, and was their childhood home, but they didn’t live there.

            Still… that’s a pretty callous fuck up, and just to walk away? Yeah. No. People go to jail for less

              You’re arguing semantics on the title. Why? Her property was destroyed. That’s the important part.

                While it’s still very upsetting to her I’m sure, this has not made her homeless. That’s the difference.

                  She’s also not the victim of a lion attack. Neither the title nor the body of the article state she was made homeless.

                The title is misleading, Imo. I don’t care if some woman’s abandoned building got accidentally demolished… Like at all.
