    Absolutely no surprise that Denver is messing with this woman, not only in refusing to let her sell her house in a contract agreed to by both parties, but now ignoring their own culpability and “punishing” her for the circumstances they created.

    That having been said, Ms. Lopez has at least some degree of responsibility for the situation under the TANSTAAFL doctrine: If a house in a Denver development could sell in 2012 for $150,000.00, it’s simply not possible she or her agent, who holds a fiduciary relationship with her as his client, could be unaware that the deal was just too sweet.

    Even if, as she claims, there was absolutely no mention of any covenant restrictions in any documentation or revealed in a title search, between the incredible price and the fact there was a government program involved, complete with a happy, shining, inclusive acronym -HOPE- the flags and flares should have been going up all over the place.

    Instead, Ms. Lopez decided, or was advised, to forego a complete investigation into the particulars of the deal.
    “This is your dream Cynthia. You deserve this for your daughter!”

    She herself said she knew her income wouldn’t qualify her for a low income house, and that she was being taxed on the property’s full value for 4 years, so her argument she was unaware of inconsistencies in title, deed or covenants is void. She was keeping her head down, hoping to slip under the radar with the sale as she had with the purchase.

    The government’s treatment here is arrogant, imperious and inflexible, but when is that a surprise. Especially if they’re partly in the wrong.

    The takeaway? When anyone comes at you with philanthropy on their lips, run the other direction as fast as you can.

  2. How much house does a single mother need for ONE two year old? She’s lucky Denver had such a generous program to help her get a real house and not just a Section 8 apartment. If she’d have stayed just 6 more years the provisions would have expired anyways. Sounds to me like she’s trying to ride the nosebleed level real estate wave, which will end badly when and if she buys a more expensive house and finds in a few years she can’t afford the payments.

  3. This is just a sign of the times. Progressive government intrusion into the free market, a single mom wanting to cash out from a bubble market, and lawyers and government drones hovering.

  4. The lesbians on the sailboat were a perfect example of the”entitled” worldview that made them candidates for the Darwin award(nonsurvival). Going to sea without skills,knowledge and basic seamanship should prohibit them from costing taxpayers for rescue(should of boarded fishing boat and delivered to next port) or self repaired at Kiribati(I know people who have been there and the passage isn’t impossible with a little preparation(chart is all you need).
    You are also not allowed to be in those islands for more than six months(longest visa)so they were totally misinformed about what they were attempting.
