Solution: when there's a fire at somebody's house who didn't pay the fee, you have them sign some paper real quick saying they'll pay twice as much if the firefighters put the fire out. problem solved, fire department gets more money and the guy gets to have his house. But seriously, paying extra fees for firefighter service? only in some dumbass place like tennessee would you have that rofl. | ||

A house doesn't give you the possibility to travel while a car does give you the protection a home does. Is it emotionally worse to lose a house, probably to most people, but I'd find it much harder to stay financially sound without my car. Troll alert  I do sincerely hope you're not responsible for a family, but if you are, GL GG. | ||

And that sucks really bad for that guy i don't get why he didn't pay the fee though.

But seriously, paying extra fees for firefighter service? only in some dumbass place like tennessee would you have that rofl. I think the guy lives in some rural county that doesn't have it own fire department and the other county doesn't directly tax him unless he willingly pays for the service. And charging him x2 as much wouldn't be nearly enough to make it fair, it'd have to be much more. I mean I figure most property owners pay for fire/other natural cause insurance for years and years and most likely never have a substantial disaster. | ||

If I don't have my car than I can't work to make any money and can't pay for my house anymore. While if I lose my house I can keep working and can get a new one. So please, tell me how I am a troll? EDIT: Of course there is public transportation and the such, but that only goes so far. | ||

If I have money saved and can rent a car for a while then I'd rather a house. If I'm living day to day with nothing in the bank(as I am now) I'd rather have a car. | ||

Any random store, or the woods. And actually it's quite the opposite. With no money and no car I have very little chance of making money so I'd lose my house anyways. | ||

It's not like you have a pair of legs or public transportation is cheaper than gas. | ||

I find the collective tax that pays for all public services to be a lot more efficient than something like that. Plus, it prevents stuff like this from happening. =\ | ||

Pretty sure the economic hit of losing a house is more than tenfold of losing a car for most people (although I guess you'd still have the land.... scorched land). If you lose your car and you can't afford to get a shitty temporary lease (which I can't imagine it being that hard), then sell your damn house, buy a car, and repurchase a lesser house.... Why in the world would you rather lose your car? That's just stupid, unless you're living in a $75,000 house and have a $200,000 Ferrari that massively degenerates in value everytime you drive it... | ||
