Streetlight Assessment Sparks Home Sale Eviction Case
In Los Angeles, William V. Moore of Watts lost a $30,000 duplex over a streetlight bill, as the 1911 Improvement Act allows sales far below rent value with limited notice. Legal Aid cites 143 Los Angeles County losses in a year, warning the law boondoggle favors speculators and endangers homeowners like Moore, who faced eviction after a 173.70 sale. Moore, a hospital clerk with six children, says she paid taxes and learned of sales only after eviction. The Legal Aid Foundation backs a county Superior Court challenge arguing insufficient notice and abuse of the act.
