    They have reached out to the person whose life they fucked up basically because they now have more in taxes and also now have to deal with squatters and vandalism on the house that they have stated they don’t want.

    They in fact did not reach out at all. The property owner found out from the realtor who sold the house and not even in a we fucked up way. From the article above:

    She was unaware of the construction until she got a call last year from a real estate broker who had learned of the mistake.

    “He told me, ‘I just sold the house, and it happens to be on your property. So, we need to resolve this,’”

      I am under the understanding that they were not even aware of the issue until that point, but I could be wrong there.

        That would be negligence if true then. The point still stands that the developer was not the one to make contact, it was the realtor (who would be working for their and the developer’s benefit) who reached out and tried to put the onus on her from the get go.
