A town in Rhode Island did that about ten years ago. They divided all the dead end streets among the property owners and gifted those segments to them. Then they assessed them additional taxes to pay due to the increased square footage and then billed them for plowing their streets when it snowed. All those property owners got together and hired a law firm and it turns out that it's illegal to give property to someone without their knowledge in the state of Rhode Island so the town had to take back the streets and refund all the money paid them for this. Except there was this one guy who put up a tole gate at his share of the dead end street he lived on and he started to charge $10 every time someone used "his road."

Good one. In the 1990's radio DJ in San Diego bought the bridge that crosses the bay connecting Coronado Island with the city. He sent a check to the toll authority and made a note in the memo section, "For purchase of bridge." The city cashed the check, and then he sent a copy along with a demand letter asking for the title to his bridge. It was a joke, of course, however had he been so inclined he could have embroiled the city in a major legal fight: They endorsed the check which means, they agreed with the memo and therefore sold him their bridge. He settled for a resolution renaming it "Dave's Bridge" and a bronze plaque stating so which was mounted under the bridge. Forever after that station's traffic report referred to it as "Dave's Bridge."
Dave's are something else haha I had a snooty coworker who made a big deal about having a whole door shelf in the employee fridge for his lipton green tea, taped it off & put a tedtalk on a post note for why no one else could have one "these are Dave's, for Dave to drink!" And then the IT guy came to our floor, his name was also Dave and "to balance the force" this 60yr old man drank all 4 and left his own sticky note of "My name IS Dave! How great I found this green tea oasis, I'll make sure to mark it in my daily calendar to come for my Dave rights to these wonderous & easily gotten beverages!!" It was the pettiest and most hysterical thing to see a 35yr old man so upset he was stamping his foot and about to cry but the department head had already told him not to bother him about "lunch room drama" and then the whole floor started bring green teas and writting "for DAVE ONLY" on them... man, sometimes I miss being in an office cuz f'n Dave 😂
the memo section is NOT a condition on the check. If he had written that on the BACK of the check where they endorse the check, he MIGHT have owned the bridge.

There are 2 empty lots of land at the end of my street. Neither is buildable due to a massive cliff on the back side. But yet every 5 years my town wastes money by having the land checked and when told it’s not buildable the town still auctions it off as buildable. The last buyer not only got his money back, he sued the town and won over $500,000. Guess what the town is doing again? Land surveyed and now going to auction as buildable. They also did this with a water from lot of land. Not wide enough to build a home. Those buyers kept it and now bring a huge RV and stay there a few times a year. Best views on the river.

: } The Water Tower wasn't sold to Just Anybody. He is One that Speaks TRUTH! RIGHT ON Bobby Reid! Much Great Luck with your New Adventure of Downtown Athletics.
A town near us had a utility contract with a cell tower company. The town received money/rent for allowing the cell company to build and maintain a tower on town property. This arrangement helped pay some utility coats and allowed the town to get regular police officers. All went well until the wife of the mayor, who was also the town clerk, sold the tower, sans maintenance, to a third party. At that point, she got a large cash payment and the town was no longer entitled to the income from the tower. Eventually the situation came to light. The mayor his wife. She went to jail. All their property and possessions were auctioned off to defray costs and debts that resulted from this. This water tower thing? Hardly worth a sneeze.
The city would've done him dirty were roles reversed

It's done all the time, just go before the zoning board. Take a look at Pintrest...
This is the type of person that I desire to have running my city!
It is astonishing to think just how wrong this could have gone...it’s a major blessing that this young man didn’t have a grudge against the city or terroristic intentions.
Dude is crazy of he doesn't call his new gym The Water Tower. 😀
Tower Fitness.
@@johnassal5838 Possibly. But, If he calls it The Water Tower, people will be reminded that he was the guy who gave back to the city and, if they have a choice about gym membership, will look favourably on his business.
@@gary-healy-songwriter Lol, either way every poster or local cable commercial he puts out ought to have the tagline "Stay Hydrated!"
Clueless leadership
Someone isn’t doing their job
Talk about being asleep at the wheel.
All public officials should be held to account for their incompetence
I would have kept it and painted it with John Deere green
Lmao...dam🤣
On a hot summer night?
@@jennacrawford8958 Yes
The real crime committed here is opening a gym boutique. What the hell is that?
They should give him the fitness center free. Since he was nice enough to return the water tower.
Who ever is involved from city manager to mayor, needs to be dealt with ,maybe even terminated.
It would help if you had lawyered up and sold it back to them for Millions.
I mean.... Sounds like a really good new business was just handed to him... Socialism.... Guess he was a better man than most we've seen lately!!!
💥 I NOMINATE this HONORABLE RIGHTEOUS man for PRESIDENT 💥
I'd just have them pay lot rent.
Reminder the Chinese couple brought the private SF road on purpose. Shame on them.
Why isnt anybody talking about the REAL story here. What the hell is a "boutique studio" gym?
@@patrickgalban1110 as long as I'm the only guy, I'm there.
I wish I lived in a world where this was my biggest problem.
Brooksville has always been the breeding spot for "Florida man" they just run wild and lack any sign of domestication.
LMFAOOOO
He could have lease it to Cell companies as Receiving Tower and make Millions. Apart from selling water to the town.
and advertising

He's selling the water back in 16oz servings.
You can add shots of protein with an additional charge.
Would the CITY be so easy to correct it
If the Mistake was His instead of Theirs?
heck no, what city has ever done so. good point too
But if you accidentally do an error on your taxes, you get jail...
Good man doing the right thing and setting the example for the rest of us.
Next they should auction off the mayor and city council.
I believe an Auto Dealership accidently sold the first 2021 or 2022 Corvette which was a showcase model. And the dealership wanted it back.
"Now that we have our water tower back, we're Denying your business permit!"
That's just government incompetence. Get used to it.
Should have just rented the land back to them for a long term lease
Why is that lady not the mayor of the city. She truly loves her town
Honestly, if they sold it to him, he owns it. Totally up to him is he chooses to sell it back at whatever price he sets, or if he just rents/leases it back to them.
It was their error.
Yes. $1 a year.
Who would want the headache and upkeep? Yikes.
Governments can seize property if it is in the public interest. It's called eminent domain. They would have to pay him back for it though.
: } The Water Tower wasn't sold to Just Anybody. He is One that Speaks TRUTH!
RIGHT ON Bobby Reid! Much Great Luck with your New Adventure of Downtown Athletics.
A town near us had a utility contract with a cell tower company. The town received money/rent for allowing the cell company to build and maintain a tower on town property. This arrangement helped pay some utility coats and allowed the town to get regular police officers. All went well until the wife of the mayor, who was also the town clerk, sold the tower, sans maintenance, to a third party. At that point, she got a large cash payment and the town was no longer entitled to the income from the tower. Eventually the situation came to light. The mayor his wife. She went to jail. All their property and possessions were auctioned off to defray costs and debts that resulted from this.
This water tower thing? Hardly worth a sneeze.
