This is Tawanda Hall. She fell $900 behind on a property-tax payment plan. So the government seized her home—which sold for *$308,000.* Hall got nothing. The Supreme Court said stealing home equity is illegal. But some states are *still* trying to defy the law. A thread.

The county sold the Halls’ home to the city for a minimum bid—about $23,000, roughly the debt amount. The city then gave their home to a government-managed nonprofit for $1. That nonprofit sold the house for $308,000, and kept the ~$286,000 profit. This is not a joke. /3
