City Buys Activist’s Home

It wasn't enough that the City of Riveria Beach used the federal government to seize activist Fane Lozman's floating home (wrongfully, I believe). Yesterday, it bought the houseboat at auction, apparently for the sole purpose of destroying it. When Lozman's home was being auctioned at the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, a lawyer representing Riviera Beach put in the high bid to purchase the houseboat for the city.

Fane Lozman Activists - Supreme Court Case

This is a true story of a persistent and tenacious underdog who fought against the governmental seizure of 2200 homes and businesses in 2006 only to see that same government arrest and destroy his floating home three years later, for an alleged failure to pay one month’s rent at the marina. Fane Lozman did not give up but continued the improbable climb from a county court eviction case to the US Supreme Court.
