A Macon County couple is now homeless, thanks to NCGS 153-366. (Note: The way I read the NCGA web site, this law was repealed.) Anyway, the couple contacted the county concerning a crack in their driveway, apparently instigated by large amounts of terracing on an adjacent parcel. After a lot of studying and consulting, the government decided to protect the couple’s property rights – er, safety – by condemning their home.
