Texana Hollis Eviction: 101-Year-Old Detroit Woman Evicted From Home After Son Fails To Pay Mortgage

I’d like to think that we are a nation that overwhelmingly favors cutting a woman—a woman who has lived for over a century!—a break. Yet, as I write this, I’m already hearing the howling from the Teabilly contingent: “Tough luck! Why should I have to pay for her property taxes! Liberty!” These are folks who cheered for the death of a 30 year-old uninsured sick man. Surely these folks don’t care about a little old lady in Detroit.

Fortunately for Ms. Hollis, the government—yes, the evil Freedom-sucking government—took pity on her and decided to help.

HUD spokesman Brian Sullivan told The Detroit News on Wednesday that the department would pay the taxes, remove the padlocks from the doors and let Texana Hollis return to the home.

“We were absolutely thunderstruck when we understood that a 101-year-old woman was put out of her home,” Sullivan told the Free Press.

Sullivan said the department has told family members that Hollis can return to the house as soon as she is released from Henry Ford Hospital, where she was taken after the eviction.

Warren Hollis said he and his mother were “overjoyed” at the word from HUD.

of her time here on earth. Ask her what that would take.

2. tax or mortgage? confused nt

PS all evictions should be banned. People need to live somewhere.

---------------------
Cash lack is not good reason for evic.
--------------------

Only evict if

so crazy they need institutionalization or so

criminal they need to be away from all neighbors ("halfway" villages) or in jail.

Huey long ended them..every town and state and Congress can too.

Longtime overdue.

10. Who would be responsible for the upkeep, taxes and insurence of

the property when they don't pay the rent? How is the landlord supposed to pay the mortgage if the tennants will not pay the rent and cannot be evicted?

4. recall libertarians such as Challis McAffee--who was jailed for evicting someone at Wells

Fargo's behest at gunpoint
the antiregulators and flat-taxers see themselves as Winners who shouldn't be "punished" to feed the Losers
